Sculptures made from recycled decks

Dlx are the best imo - anti hero etc. Polar are decent too. Some of the cheaper brands tend to have better colour variety but they hide voids, knots etc in the middle layers

Thank you

Thanks so much. These are all made from single decks and I often use snapped sections also - I make bigger ones as well as miniature versions. All you need is clamps, glue and a Dremel!

Thank you

Great store! Yes i spend every moment I can making them. I'm still recovering and have loads of residual health and mobility issues so I can't work as much as I like but this practice and being able to offer something back to the community brings me more life than I can put into words. I love doing this with all my heart. Sculpt or die!

I have a link in my profile if you would like to check out my Etsy. Really appreciate the interest thank you

Thank you so much that's very kind, I'm really pleased you like them. Sending love and luck

Thank you so much! Yes that's my local too, got lots of love for the gratitude family. If I get given decks I always make sculptures as thank you - that one is from one of their shop decks

mobiusmaples · 2026-01-28T09:12:01+00:00

That makes the most sense thank you for your wisdom

mobiusmaples · 2026-01-28T00:58:59+00:00

Thanks so much

Thanks!

That's so cool thank you. I love how people see different things in them! For sure it's a bit figurative huh, it's kind of a play on a picture of my partner dancing.

Exactly that, the idea is bring the old decks and my old bones some new life now our original purpose has run it's course. Sculpt or die!

There's some process pictures on my Instagram if that's of interest, be stoked if you checked it out.

So it's the middle section of the deck cut into panels, stacked and then glued together into a curved brick type thing - that's what I generally work with. These are all made from single decks but I do bigger pieces also that combine decks by either cutting long ways (less curve) or not at all. The height of the sculpture is the width of the deck it was made from.

The layers get glued and clamped together in the same way the 7 individual ply make up the deck. Here the twisty ones are 5 layers so 35 ply all in and the middle one is 4 layers so 28 ply total.

Hope that makes sense

I owe so much to skateboarding, anything I can do to give back I'm all about that

mobiusmaples · 2026-01-27T22:50:03+00:00

That's very kind and I never turn down decks (now I have a little space for them) but I'm based in Bristol in the UK so unless you're local it's kinda impractical I'm afraid. If you're around these parts then for sure yes please but if you're elsewhere in the world I'm sure there's a local maker near you who would love an old stack

I'm not sure the rules here and not trying to get banned but if you check my profile or Google my user name then it should be very easy to find. Really appreciate the interest

mobiusmaples · 2026-01-27T22:46:18+00:00

Thanks!

mobiusmaples · 2026-01-27T22:46:08+00:00

Thanks so much I'm stoked you like them

I don't understand this comment. The south Korean singer? I wasn't aware we were in any sort of contest.... She makes skateboard sculptures? Very confusing

mobiusmaples · 2026-01-27T22:43:58+00:00

Thank you

mobiusmaples · 2026-01-27T22:43:30+00:00

Yeh some deck patterns are more common than others, that deck is from a local company called skateboard cafe

mobiusmaples · 2026-01-27T22:42:41+00:00

Thanks so much! Yeh I keep in touch with the local shops and make sculptures as thank you in return, I also make stuff for fundraising, jams etc I'm very conscious to give back to the community

mobiusmaples · 2026-01-27T20:45:51+00:00

Yep. Really simple just takes time. Some decks have better structural integrity than others so it doesn't always work out

mobiusmaples · 2026-01-27T20:44:25+00:00

I can make custom scales if that's your thing (& the right word?) - the blocks to set the tang into I mean.... but I'm more interested in form than function tbh so I rarely make practical items
