I ffffound this beautiful wooden typography & ornamentation. The effect is amazing and what makes it all the more drool-worthy is that these designs are being engraved onto skateboards!
I’m not sure if this should be in Desirables, Typography or Design because it’s all three for me! If only I could get my hands on the machinery - imagine the projects you could do! Via ffffound
Update: After a little more research I found the original Flickr group that the photos came from

@Olof - Ah thanks for the update! Wish I had some spare $, these would make an awesome piece for the wall!
Would also like to take this chance to thank @johno at I Love Typography for putting this post in his latest Sunday Type, Stern Type - another great read!

Amazing! I was thinking about getting one of those boards for my friend, but they do work out at about £260. :/
To be honest I know it’s steep but it would be worth it to see the look on his face, they are awesome boards!
