Traditional 7-Ply Construction. The most common skateboard construction consists of seven layers of maple wood veneer, which are pressed and glued together with strong adhesive. Maple is a dense hard wood that provides excellent strength and pop, making it the tried and true standard for decades. Moose decks feature a modern shape. Full of pop, Moose boards have a mellow concave with steep kicks. The perfect combination of flex, stiffness, strength, and lightness. This is a high-quality skateboard deck that is simply devoid of graphics or artwork. Blank skateboard decks are especially attractive to artists or skaters that want to create their own graphics. This blank skateboard deck is essentially a blank canvas that is ready to be painted.
