The Build
Every Session x Teak piece starts as a design our own crew rides before it goes into production. We laser cut the parts from high grade Baltic birch plywood, glue and assemble them by hand, then hand sand every edge until the lips and landings feel finished. Every obstacle is handcrafted start to finish in our Rochester, NY shop. Session Fingerboards is part of the Teak Tuning family, and the Session x Teak collaboration line is where our fingerboarding obstacles come from.
Materials and Wear
Birch structure with acrylic across every surface you'd actually ride. The acrylic scuffs as you use it, which is wear, not damage. Store it flat so the benches stay square to the table.
Care
Keep it dry and indoors. Plywood swells if it sits in moisture, so keep it off damp surfaces and wipe it with a dry cloth. Use a dry cloth on the acrylic and skip solvents and polish, they haze the finish.
The Bench is a slim wooden fingerboard bench, 20cms long and only 4.5cms wide, topped with matte teal acrylic for a fast, consistent slide.
This is the closest piece we make to a real plaza bench: narrow, low, and unforgiving, so your setup has to be squared up before you commit. Two grind edges run the full length, both formed by the acrylic cap rather than by the wood, which is why the slide holds its speed as it wears instead of going furry. At 95g it's the lightest obstacle in the line.
