Description

This axe started as a skateboard. After years of flips, slides and worn grip tape, the deck would normally be discarded. Skateriors takes these used boards and reshapes the layered maple wood into new objects.

The coloured layers that once formed the skateboard deck now create a distinctive handle. The stripes you see are not added decoration. They come from the stacked wood construction of the original board.

Paired with a solid steel axe head, the result is a functional tool with a very different look. Whether used outdoors or kept as a striking interior piece, it carries the energy of its previous life in a new form.

Who is this for

• For people who chop their own wood, grew up skating or just love its uniqueness.
• For those who appreciate cool design, colourful wood layers and objects that don’t look like anything else in the shed or living room.

Out of the ordinary

Each axe handle is unique. The colour stripes depend on the skateboards used, so no two pieces look the same.
