    I’ve never seen one like that. It almost looks like
    the inlay on top was done post-production. The bottom
    is pretty generic in comparison. Used to be able to find
    stuff like that around here. Nice

    I have 2 of these, a distributor in the UK had a stack BITD. Each had a different inlay on them some truly beautiful wood working. The trucks on the one shown here are much later than the ones I have, which are a more generic 70s truck.

  6. My first wide board (9″) was a Sims TaperKICK with a beautiful and pointless vertical laminate top and bottom (1979). Anyone know who did this first?

  7. Beautiful indeed.
