We all bent our boards in a curved line; which represented calmness and stability when we skateboard.
The board hardened in 24 hours.
I altered the form of my board by shaving the wood off using a yellow shaver. The shaver has a sharp physical texture.

The board was initially very rough and had many pocks in the wood. I started using 60 (coarse) sandpaper to sand the board.
After a few days worth of sanding, the board became noticeable smoother.
Some techniques that I thought really saved me time, was the sanding in one direction, not focusing in one spot and spending the most time on 60 and 120. The 220 and 90 are not too important in my opinion. the 400 had to be worked on to get the shine. The times i applied art skills was sanding in a straight line, which added underlining emotions of speed. Another example is using only a 400 on the top of my board, leaving the veins intact, but having a glossy surface.
I felt I have achieved a smooth surface on both the top and bottom of my board because when i held it at an angle, it shimmered in the sunlight (like glass)
