Strawberry Thief (by William Morris) Skateboard
This design is based on a pattern created by British designer William Morris (1834–1896), who is especially well known and regarded for his association with the Arts and Crafts Movement. Strawberry Thief is one of William Morris' most popular repeating designs for textiles. The pattern takes as its subject the thrush birds that Morris found stealing fruit in the kitchen garden of his countryside home, Kelmscott Manor, in Oxfordshire. The pattern was originally printed using the indigo discharge method, an ancient technique that had been used for many centuries mostly in the East. Morris admired the depth of colour and crisp detail that it produced. William Morris first attempted to print by this method in 1875 but it was not until 1881, when he moved into his factory at Merton Abbey, near Wimbledon, that he finally succeeded. The entire process would have taken days to complete and it was for this reason that it was one of Morris & Co.'s most expensive cottons. Nonetheless, customers were not put off by the expensive cost, and Strawberry Thief proved to be one of Morris' most commercially successful patterns. The pattern's beauty and elegance is still greatly appreciated today.

When ordering anything that is customised I always open the product with my eyes half shut... almost preempting that there's going to be something wrong somewhere.
No matter how well you send artwork or how well the relationship goes online... there's always chance of an imperfection, or two.
But this right here... ABSOLUTELY PERFECT.
I am blown away by the quality of the work.
Thank you and I will definitely be back again.
Sam. As a designer I know how to prepare and send artwork. The print turned out perfectly... a high level of experience and knowledge on both sides.

The board itself is in great quality, not too dry wood, and the concavity is perfect.
Unfortunately, the print ruins the product as a whole. I bought this as a birthday gift, but the surprise was ruined by the terrible print. It was embarrassing to give away, and it was not worth the money. I am really disappointed. I initially bought this board to hang on the wall, but because of the bad print, that is just impossible. It looks like the picture is way too small for the board, so the pixels is just smeared out. If the picture would be bid enough, the board would be great!

The colours and details on the art are fantastic. Like the small details and looks great on the deck. Printing is crisp and detailed
