What happens to old skateboard decks? Well most probably end up in the bin, and a lucky few may make it into storage in a dusty corner of the garage to be reminisced over when you are old and balding at best.  Now however, art collective Haroshi have launched a series of art pieces made using the interesting and unique layer patterns of old skateboard decks.

So I am trying to show the out shoot of the board beautifully as color of the skateboard looks beautiful when it`s pasted together.”
