This is one I have been working on for a while. It is supposed to have flames. Thus the name "Fuego", but I can't bring myself to paint it since the finish is so nice.
More of my 60 year old recycled kitchen cabinet plywood. Reinforced inside with fiberglass cloth and bondo resin. The outside is coated with bondo resin. It really penetrates and strengthens the wood. I patched voids/holes with wood glue prior to applying the bondo resin. The resin didn't penetrate locations where the wood glue was used. That is why it looks like there are scuff marks. It is really as hard and smooth as a bowling ball. It is irresistible to touch.
It has the standard inline skate bearings. Steel axle with stainless steel sleeves. Reversible nut.
I'm still working on getting a one-way bearing into a 10" top.
That is my girlfriend in the photo with Mark. She was kind enough to drive with me to Madison.
It was surprisingly too warm to make ice tops. Maybe next year.
