ARNIKO | HANDCRAFTED SKATEBOARDS FROM NEPAL

i am not a boarder indeed. i tried it several times in the late 70s and the results 
were always very painful. but finding the ARNIKO boards, … hm, one more try? 
the boards look so beautiful. every board is unique, and all they are handmade 
by carver in nepal. the boards are made for cruising and therefore they have the 
classical form of slalomboards, developed from the surfer scene in the 70s.

ago i wanted new soles for a white’s smokejumper: a white vibram
2021 sand sole. no chance. they told me it will not work. so far …

HICKOREE’S HARD GOODS | OLD TIME SLING SHOT

an old school toy for the boy: classic sling shot hand made from branches
of the buckthorn bush, a european hedge plant. buckthorn’s hard “Y” branches
are perfect for sling shots. a light coat of hand rubbed mineral oil brings out
the natural beauty of the wood. natural latex tubing and a leather projectile
pouch are attached to the sling shot using sinew. at hickoree’s.
