This brings the Owen to a total of 9 styles. Not bad for a sneak around shoe.

Grain Surfboards, the York, Maine based manufacturers of beautiful, handmade wooden surfboards is launching The Cedar Hill Skateboard as part of its Offcuts Initiative.
“The Offcuts Initiative is a recognition of our effort to waste no waste,” states Brad Anderson, Grain co-owner. “In the normal course of producing surfboards and Home Grown Kits, we’ve simply devoted ourselves to finding ways for each off-cut to be used somewhere down the line.” Though the last stop for Grain’s shavings and splinters is as animal bedding or garden mulch, whatever wood harbors even a hint of utility gets saved in the corners of the shop to await it’s full potential.
The Cedar Hill ($250 complete) is a cedar veneer laminate with “SFI-certified sustainably harvested maple.” The top is finished with a “permanent grip-tape” deck of bamboo cloth laminated with Entropy Eco-resin, and with the distinctive Grain Surfboards logo burned into the deck and bottom.” Follow the jump for more details or click here for more info.
