DBskis

Design

Each DBski is constructed as a collaborative design with the customer.  I will work with you to produce the ski of your dreams.  We can use about any wood or woods you desire. Some of the more common ones are shown on the wood options photo. Once we decide on the woods, we will then design a wood pattern

 

 .  This could be as simple as a stripe pattern or as intricate as you desire. The gallery will illustrate previous designs for ideas.  The final element of the design is the graphics and fonts.  These will be CNC router cut into the ski.  You can pick almost any font for the text or a combination of fonts. Standard graphics include several skier silhouettes, a palm tree or a boat outline.  I can program and cut graphics of your own for an additional cost.

 

Construction

Once we have finished the design of the ski I will construct your ski completely in-house in my shop. All skis are built using waterproof glues and marine varnishes for maximum durability.  If the skis are displayed outside, recoating of the varnish will be required occasionally. You have a choice of various varnish sheens, flat, satin, or gloss.

 

Pricing

Pricing is determined by the final selection of woods and options.  The base price of a simple ski with domestic woods, standard graphics and any font is $300.  I ask for a $100 deposit to start construction of your ski.  Upon completion I will E-mail you a picture of the completed ski so you may check for any desired changes or additions.  Completion time averages 2-weeks once the deposit is received.
