Anyone ever make a skateboard? Do I really have to use HARD rock maple. I think that’s just marketing bullshit. there is only a 5% difference in density vs white oak

You're still going to need wheels, trucks (that's what those metal things are that connect the wheels to the board), and that grip tape that makes it possible to have the rough surface on top.

Maple is often used in guitar necks.
You'll need something sturdy but light.

Technically a skateboard should run off the same concepts as a bow, no?
