These decks are uncut, no finish, and may have slight warp due to not being cut or shaped, since pressed

May also include press lines from the mold along the edges/rail

You can shape these decks anyway you like. Copy a Loaded deck, go to your skateshop or a friend and trace the deck on paper, use that as a template to cut your own version. You can copy a downhill deck shape or a top mount or a drop thru. 

To drill the truck mounts first draw the centre from top to bottom. This gives you an idea on centring the trucks. Use a truck baseplate and centre it, then pencil where the holes will be. Drill one hole first. Use tape or masking tape so the wood does not splinter. When you have one hole drilled, attach the baseplate to the bottom of the deck. Now use the truck mount holes as a templaye to drill the other holes. Please not there are two types of mounts: old school and new school. New school holes are for Traditional Kingpin (TKP) trucks. Old school hole pattern are used on longbaord or Reverse Kingpin (RKP) trucks. 

Notes on using deck for art
This is not a raw deck, which means it has been vanished to protect the wood. Research up the best technique for what you want to do. Generally if you are going to putting down some art or graphics then sand the deck back to remove the varnish, we suggest 220 grit sand paper. Or you can start at a lower grit and work up to finishing with 220. Then seal the deck with sanding sealer, let dry for 24 hours. One coat should be enough, if you want two coats then sand back with 220 grit and reapply. Now you need a primer coat. This is the base you are going to put your art/graphic on. Choose an acrylic one. If you are doing a full dip style graphic then spray paint the whole deck top and bottom. If the graphic is only going on the board, then masking tape out the edges (rails) for a more pro finish. Wait 24 hours after primer. Now you are ready to do your art. Use acrylic paints, they dry faster. Once art is down you want to apply a lacquer clear coat to protect the art. Once clear coat is on, let it sit for a few weeks to harden, that is the annoying part because you want to just set it up and rip. However you get a better deck if you wait until that clear coat is rock hard.
