Hey guys,
I had this crazy idea that I would dry out rose petals and glass them under my new longboard. What do you guys think? Have any of you ever done this before?
If they are dry, I can’t imagine too much of a problem. Similar characteristics to wood…I’d just make sure to “press them” like plant collectors do so they are nice and flat when you put them under the glass. Read up on plant pressing…pretty sure some newspaper and a couple heavy books will work fine.

Might encase them in casting resin first, then rout some foam away and glass in the casting resin block.
3D makes a rose petal look the way they do.
Seen a few dak leaves done. Just press dry them in a big fat book.
You totally can do that. Just make sure their dry, put some resin on the board and then lay the flowers on. Works and looks good. Enjoy.
I had the same idea with leaves… I would want them green, though.
Wonder if resin would keep em that way…
try it on a scrap piece of foam. see how it goes
to get a diploma
aka do it without remorse of
questionable success-
delam a Saurus REX-
start with dry dry dry
mebe even Iro em…
but then they ain’t
roses no mo…
best deal is get a real good
print of a rose on rice paper
glass it on and then make a
batch of wax and scent it rose.
roses smell good.The stems
hurt my fingers.
…ambrose…
now when you try it and the
roses lift the glass
and make condensation
in the direct sun and delam
then you have had the
complete course.
or as my dad’s watch mates
calledit ‘’ you had the course’’
and the new gusaid what course
the interschoolastic coures
you just screwed it up.
although they used the
appropriate profane term.
Always wanted to do marijuana leaves a friend had it done in the 80’s
yeah , that wasn’t uncommon back then…I wouldn’t take a board like that into Asia these days , they’d nail ya for drug smuggling.
