Custom deck finished!

Without further ado here's the finished commission for a certain Cypher movement member.
I hope you will be proud of your new deck.

In other news I have just finished making a bow, which I will be selling shortly.
I am now open for commissions again,
Spoons, spatulas, custom skateboards and bows.
