Fingerboard Molds, Presses & Deck-Building Supplies: a buying guide
How a fingerboard mold works
A fingerboard mold is a shaped form — machined aluminium or dense resin — that presses glued maple veneer plies into the finished deck shape. It defines the concave curve and the kick angles at nose and tail. Stack your veneer plies with glue between each layer, press in the mold until cured, and the deck holds the shape permanently. Different fingerboard molds produce different concave depths and kick heights.
Press vs. clamps
A fingerboard press mold is a matched positive-and-negative pair that sandwiches the veneer stack evenly. Pressing with a dedicated press applies uniform pressure across the entire deck simultaneously, producing consistent concave and preventing edges from lifting during cure. Clamping a single-piece fingerboard mold with separate clamps works but requires care to position clamps evenly. Most fingerboard mold kits include either a press mechanism or hardware recommendations.
Veneer, blanks and glue
Fingerboard veneer is thin maple sheet — typically 0.6–1mm per ply — sold in sets sized for deck production. Fingerboard blanks are pre-cut veneer sets, ready to glue and press without additional cutting. Using fingerboard blanks speeds up the build and produces consistent deck outlines, useful when pressing multiple decks from a single fingerboard making kit.
Why buy molds here
The two best-known brands in the fingerboard market do not sell deck-pressing molds. This collection is one of the only places to find fingerboard molds, matching presses and all associated supplies — veneer, glue, blanks and tools — together. Whether you are working through a fingerboard building kit for the first time or producing a run of DIY fingerboard decks, the range here covers every stage.
Common questions
- How do I make a fingerboard from scratch?
- You need a fingerboard mold, maple veneer, wood glue and a way to apply pressure. Stack three to seven veneer plies with glue between each layer, press until cured, then trim, sand the edges and mount trucks and wheels. Full guides are available in the fingerboard building community online.
- What is the difference between a fingerboard mold and a press?
- A mold is the shaped form that defines the deck concave and kicks. A press is the mechanism that applies pressure during glue cure. Some fingerboard press mold kits combine both — the two halves of the mold also serve as the press.
- What veneer should I use for a DIY fingerboard?
- Hard maple is standard — the same species used for full-size decks. Look for fingerboard veneer between 0.6mm and 1mm per ply. Fingerboard veneer sold specifically for deck building is pre-cut and graded for grain direction, saving time compared to sourcing raw sheet and cutting it yourself.
- Can I press a fingerboard without a dedicated press?
- Many builders use a single-piece fingerboard mold with C-clamps. The key is even pressure across the full surface during cure — uneven clamping causes flat spots in the concave. A dedicated fingerboard press mold applies even pressure automatically and is worth buying if you plan to press more than a few decks.
- How is making your own fingerboard different from buying one?
- With a fingerboard mold kit, you choose the concave depth, kick height, ply count and finish. The process takes roughly an hour of active work plus several hours of cure time. Most builders find skating something they made themselves a fundamentally different experience.
