Experiment No. 1 – Skateboard Shades by Shwood Eyewear

The guys over at Shwood,makers of fine wooden sunglasses, seem to be having a lot of fun these days. Recently they teamed up with Keith Hufnagel of HUF to ride around the streets of Los Angeles and to create a pair of Skatebaord Shades, which are made from the plywood of skateboards. It’s a pretty cool process how he makes the glasses and prepares the wood, such as gluing the pieces together (duh) but then he vacuum seals them I guess instead of using clamps? Technology these days! The finished products look pretty slick, though sadly I’m told they’re not for sale, they’re just for fun.
