Our Veneer
Nevada Decks hand builds each board with the highest quality hard rock northern maple in the market. Each ply is hand picked and free of any defects to offer the highest strength possible. Our veneer are graded at furniture quality and offer a standard unmatched.
The Glue Proccess
We use a special formulated slow set PVA glue to bond our veneers. Slow set PVA formulated glue allows a deep penetration into the maple veneer cells. The deeper the penetration the stronger the bond which means no delaminating. Our PVA glue offers the highest tensile and shear strength available for any glue in the industry and is water resistant.
Pressing the Veneer
Our clamping system is custom made uniquely designed for our molds. To achieve the correct clamping pressure is imperative to the bonding process. Our presses are crafted for complete pressure across the entire mold and clamping the maple at 175 to 200 psi consistently and holding that pressure thru the pressing process unlike hydraulic presses that loose pressure at extended pressure times. We press one board at a time to allow to proper mold form for each deck. Consistency is the name of the game. We allow each deck to cure for 18 hrs in the press to form and allow the glue penetration process to its full potential. Our decks bust curbs, not blow apart!
Silk Screening
Our decks are all silk screened in house. No stick on cheesy vinyl here.
Shaping
This is the real artisan part of our craft. I grew up in the 1970's selling skateboards to local Huntington Beach surf shops. As we did back in the day, our decks are shaped by hand. No CNC. This is a craft, not an assembly line and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I personally touch and inspect every board I hand shape which you can rest assure the quality is top of the line. I expect it and demand it from myself.
Finishing
Each deck is shot with a high gloss poly urethane. We apply at least seven coats to lock moisture and the elements out and wet sanding to give that board the furniture look and feel.
