I combined my love for skateboarding with my love for jewelry and created Maple XO. I find junked skateboards and make jewelry and fashion accessories out of them- giving them new life!
MapleXO is more than just a concept.
It's quality jewelry, the re-life of skateboards, and a fashionable way to make a statement. It's a company that believes in the idea that people still believe.
Wearing MapleXO means more than just having good style. It means that you believe in your creativity, believe in your individuality, and believe in your power to impact the planet.
MapleXO is the original creator of handmade recycled skateboard jewelry.
Live. Love. Wear. Skateboarding. MapleXO
When Ken approached me about taking part in Project Chaboo I thought the idea was really cool but I hesitated from lack of experience in making furniture. I gave it a shot though and love the result. I took skateboard parts and (with some help) used a drum sander to shape them to fit as the inserts. I like how on the end you can see that the laminations are curved. It was a difficult experience for me technically because I usually free form my jewelry. It was still fun though- and I hope you enjoy my skateboard chaboo!
