So after a few years of enjoying my Afterbangs i decided the faded graphics needed to be redone. I sanded off the painted graphics and wood burned this design in. Its completely freehanded and aside from the amount of time it took i am stoked on how it turned out. hope you enjoy!

on of my friend's buddies did something similar to his, were from back east so he drew the state of NH and his home mountain, loon, and a few other designs

by the way those wood burned skis are so sick, so much credit for taking the time to do all that….i can barely burn my name into a piece of wood after 20 minutes

community skis can do a custom graphic on your skis, so even if you're not the best artist you can get the illest styling

I saw a couple pair of these lines but there was no color, just white ski with black lines.

Damn that's amazing!
Would it be durable enough if I just sand the top, paint it and spray some clear coat on?

Thanks for all the support! and the other skis look dope! I was wondering what you guys used for the color? sharpie? paint? i'd love to know because i might start doing some customs for people but want more options than the woodburning.

Also I got some messages about how i did it which is actually pretty simple, since the Line Afterbangs have a wooden top sheet i sanded off the painted graphics, then using a wood burner burned the designs into the wood and finished the skis with quite a few layers of polyurethane. This is key because it protects and seals the wood but you have to go slowly and let it dry in between layers and it also helps to lightly sand in between layers.

Goodluck to anyone and everyone who will try something like this and tell me if you have any ideas or suggestions!
