THE POPSICLE

THE ICONIC, MOST COMMON FORM OF SKATE DECKS.

STEP 1: PLANNING
I MEASURED MY PREFERRED SKATEBOARDS I'VE OWNED AND MADE A SCHEMATIC OF WHAT I'D IDEALLY WANT IN A CLASSIC POPSICLE DECK.

STEP 2: GATHERING
USING BENDING PLYS FROM THE PARSONS WOODSHOP, I CUT THEM DOWN TO BE SLIGHTLY OVERSIZED AT 9" X 34."

STEP 3: PRINTING
FOR THE DECK ART, I DECIDED TO SILKSCREEN A GRAPHIC ONTO THE WOOD. I SPECIFICALLY CHOSE TO PRINT ON THE FLAT PLYS BECAUSE IT'S EASIER TO PRINT ON BEFORE MOLDING THE DECK TO IT'S NOSE AND TAIL SHAPE.
