Skateboard keyboard A wooden keyboard case made out of old skateboard decks – by u/ansedehenle .
KBD.news Published September 6, 2022
If you, like me, were into custom guitars before falling into the custom keyboard rabbit hole, this approach may be familiar: old skateboards sliced up and glued together to help them come back to life in a new form.
I’ve never seen a case of this sort so I decided to make one from my old skateboard decks. Super satisfied with the final product! – ansedehenle .
Four decks were used in total since ansedehenle only used the wood from the middle section.
