......But what should I do?

Click for larger image

I am going to stain it tomorrow a nice cherry color and then I am not sure. I am thinking about putting this:

(only the black)

at the widest part of the nose before the drop. Otherwise, I am not too sure.

Anyone want to draw anything that I can stencil on tomorrow?

I just got to thinking and I am pretty sure I want some kind of tree to come up the side of the board. Like start from the tail and come all the way up, kinda to one side though. The only problem is that I cant seem to find a picture of one.

word that will be a great color, and make the grain pop.  you should varnish the bottom afterward, or look at getting a clear griptape, cause that would be sick

I thought you were going to talk about that one thread you made where you handed in a NS-written essay but then failed to post pics.

That thread had some serious potential.

Ya, dry is clutch.

Oh and I just put one coat of stain on the deck. Cherry was too light so I found a Dark Walnut stain and laid that over it.... Sooooooooooooo sexy.

I was thinking something like an electric blue. Just so it pop's even more. I think blue looks awesome against woodgrain.

Gotta see what WalMart has though haha

Do you know somewhere around here that can do a grip job on it? Cause just one sheet won't work, I need a roll.

http://thelongboardstore.com/grip-tape/generic/clear-11-grip-tape-4-sheet/

like 8-10 bucks and I suggest the clear tape, will look much cooler on a stained board

Ya, I am still up in the air about a few things....

Should I put any type of graphic on this?
Clear/black griptape?

The main thing is that I want to be able to ride it soon and I am not sure if anywhere has clear griptape. Plus, I didn't really do a good job sanding the top since I figured that I would be putting black back on top.

hmm, well if you did clear grip tape, a graphic would be almost a must.  If you just wanna go black, thats cool too.  and if you want someone to do a custom paint job, my best friend is baller at art and would love to do that for you.  imo, clear would be a sick custom touch, i just don't know where to get it from except from online (next day shipping?)

Well currently I am unemployed so money is tight. And I called Sun Valley and they have 9" rolls of grip and I can probably get it gripped for free.

As far as graphic, I want just something simple. Just something that I can lay a stencil down for and spray it black. A tree would be sick, but I have yet to find one that I want.

Well its not a matter of tracing it since I will just print it and stencil.

This is the biggest I could find.... Can someone make it big for me? I don't have the proper programs on the computer I am posting on.
