Here at Roarockit, we care about the environment.

In order to respect the quality of veneer necessary for building skateboards, we do need to sort to respect the A and B grades (face and core) of each sheet.

Following this sorting, we have maple sheets that are of lower quality; with very big knots, big cracks, very curled, broken.

Although we do not offer them in our classic packs, these sheets can be used for projects and thus recycling and giving new life to the veneer.

Each set of veneer includes:

• Two cross grain maple sheets called "crossband"at 1/22 '' thickness (1.15 mm)
• Five maple sheets at 1.16 '' thickness (1.58 mm) with a longitudinal fiber, called "face", "core" or "neutral fiber" depending on their position in the stack of your board.

How to use this product:

Design and build your own custom skateboard using this 1/16 '(1.58mm) thick veneer. This veneer fits perfectly to our vacuum presses (Thin Air Press), which apply uniform pressure across the entire board. By assembling several 1/16 'layers of veneer, you will be able to create radical curves, which will add rigidity to your board.

The classic assembly of a seven ply corresponds to the following stacking:

1. One face: long grain 
2. One core: long grain
3. A crossband: cross grain 
4. A core (also called neutral fiber, in the center of the board): long grain 
5. A crossband: cross grain 
6. One core: long grain 
7. One face: long grain

Glue (estimate) per deck: 13 oz (38 cl)

Suggested vacuum press size: 20 x 70 Thin Air Press: TPK20

Understanding the veneer:

Core – Long grain direction with some solid knots, holes, splits, staining or waves. Sometimes we find interesting looking core sheets, so pretty that they look great on the outside of a custom board!

Cross grain – This material is the same as the core but is cut in a cross grain configuration. Normally there are two cross grain layers in a board and is intended to give the board strength across its surface. Sometimes smaller pieces are stitched together in the veneer mill to make up the larger rectangles. This does not hinder board strength.

Note: The sheets included in this deal will have defaults. 

On the long grain and cross grain sheets, you might spot knots, blemishes, splits, holes, markings or warping. 

Maintenance:

Until they are laminated together, veneer sheets are prone to splitting, especially cross band sheets. Handle them with care.

• if a sheet is split or broken, not to worry these sheets are entirely useable and will not effect the quality of your board. Simply apply glue to those lines while pressing your board. Once dried, the board will be very strong.
• if the sheets are warped/wavy (often due to temperature changes during transport), once put under press, these thin and flexible sheets will easily flatten out.
