But none has had the chance yet,  it seems. \u201cCollectors prefer to hang them up,\u201d says the firm\u2019s founder, Emma Wood. \u201cAs far as I know, no one has tried to use one.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s no surprise, really. Operating out of her studio, in the Black Mountains of Wales, Wood inlays her surfboards with elaborate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/technique\/marquetry\/\">marquetry<\/a>. The board&#8217;s deck is her canvas, and each of her ocean-minded designs a gleaming work of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/art\/\">art<\/a>. It\u2019s hard to imagine smearing one of her creations with surf wax, let alone plunging it into the sea and potentially scuffing her inlay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Woodpop is the first company to achieve the formidable feat of creating a full-scale marquetry artwork on a functioning surfboard. It\u2019s a labor-intensive task that requires a strong eye for design and a deft hand, as well as some understanding of physics. It took her two years of experimentation to nail down the process, she says.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"713\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Woodpop-board-fins-950x713.jpeg\" alt=\"The fins of Woodpop's Kokomo surfboard, adorned with a graphic geometric marquetry pattern\" class=\"wp-image-426219\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Woodpop-board-fins-950x713.jpeg 950w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Woodpop-board-fins-467x350.jpeg 467w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Woodpop-board-fins-120x90.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Woodpop-board-fins-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Woodpop-board-fins-1244x933.jpeg 1244w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Woodpop-board-fins.jpeg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Wood also applied marquetry to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/decorative-objects\/sculptures\/mounted-objects\/64-kokomo-custom-wooden-marquetry-surfboard\/id-f_36438262\/\">Kokomo<\/a>\u2019s fins, which are made of bio resins rather than the conventional plastic commonly used. Photo by Ben Etridge<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The boards that Wood uses are complex hydrodynamic objects, transformed from solid blocks of wood (often balsa) by an expert shaper. For one standout, the six-foot-four-inch <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/decorative-objects\/sculptures\/mounted-objects\/64-kokomo-custom-wooden-marquetry-surfboard\/id-f_36438262\/\">Kokomo<\/a>, offered on 1stDibs, Wood worked with Philippe Hetier, who is based in Ireland, before bringing the board back to the U.K., where she put on the finishing touches with her go-to shaper, Devon-based boatbuilder Alen von Rooyen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wood grew up in London and learned how to surf in Ireland. She surfs in Wales and England but also spends as much time as she can on the southern Pacific coast of Mexico, whose influence is clear in her designs, which mix the antique sensibility of marquetry \u2014 an ancient craft \u2014 with a sunny equatorial vibe. Kokomo feels especially oceanic. She used veneers dyed blue and yellow to create a graphic pattern of celestial-looking orbs that channel the sun and moon and all the tidal forces between them. She even fit designs on the fins.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"633\" height=\"950\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/EmmaWMW-48-633x950.jpg\" alt=\"Emma Wood at work in her studio\" class=\"wp-image-426248\" style=\"width:675px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/EmmaWMW-48-633x950.jpg 633w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/EmmaWMW-48-233x350.jpg 233w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/EmmaWMW-48-80x120.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/EmmaWMW-48-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/EmmaWMW-48-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/EmmaWMW-48-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/EmmaWMW-48-622x933.jpg 622w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 633px) 100vw, 633px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Wood created marquetry designs for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/\">furniture<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/buy\/decorative-wall-panels\/\">wall panels<\/a> before she turned her eye to surfboards. Photo by Evie Johnstone<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Wood&#8217;s patterns are far more than decoration; they express her lifelong fascination with geometry and math, which seems to have found an ideal medium in the surfboard. \u201cThe universal mathematical language underpins our entire universe,\u201d she says. \u201cI find it mind-boggling that you see the same formulas and geometric patterns everywhere around us in art, architecture, anatomy, biology, astronomy.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wood trained as a musician and worked in the music industry before turning full-time to her other passion, art making. She started by enhancing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/origin\/danish\/\">Danish furniture<\/a> and pieces from British manufacturer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/g-plan-furniture\/furniture\/\">G Plan <\/a>with laser-cut <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/material\/formica\/\">Formica<\/a> inlay in bright colors. \u201cI was reinventing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/storage-case-pieces\/sideboards\/\">sideboards<\/a> and whatnot, but I wanted to be in control of the whole process, and I didn\u2019t like working with plastics,\u201d she says. \u201cA friend who\u2019s a cabinetmaker suggested I try marquetry. So I did, and I absolutely loved it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Initially, she designed furniture and custom <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/buy\/decorative-wall-panels\/\">wall panels<\/a> \u2014 including a 10-panel graphic interpretation of a celebrated 15th-century <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/art\/style\/renaissance\/\">Renaissance<\/a> painting titled <em>The Ideal City<\/em> \u2014 for an apartment in London. \u201cThen, around 10 years ago, I was surfing in Ireland, and I saw someone with a wooden board. I was like, \u2018Oh my gosh, I wonder if I could put marquetry on a surfboard.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"633\" height=\"950\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/FPO-Emma-Wood-Woodpop-Fractal-Gun-Surfboard-633x950.jpg\" alt=\"Emma Wood, founder of design studio Woodpop, standing on a beach holding one of her marquetry surfboards\" class=\"wp-image-426256\" style=\"width:675px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/FPO-Emma-Wood-Woodpop-Fractal-Gun-Surfboard-633x950.jpg 633w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/FPO-Emma-Wood-Woodpop-Fractal-Gun-Surfboard-233x350.jpg 233w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/FPO-Emma-Wood-Woodpop-Fractal-Gun-Surfboard-80x120.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/FPO-Emma-Wood-Woodpop-Fractal-Gun-Surfboard-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/FPO-Emma-Wood-Woodpop-Fractal-Gun-Surfboard-622x933.jpg 622w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/FPO-Emma-Wood-Woodpop-Fractal-Gun-Surfboard.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 633px) 100vw, 633px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">With Woodpop, Wood combined her passions for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/art\/\">art<\/a>, mathematics and nature.

Unlike typical surfboards, which are made of Styrofoam and plastic resin, hers are made of wood sourced from sustainably managed forests, and she uses only bio resins. There are no plastic fittings at all \u2014 just metal vents to allow the air inside the lightweight boards to adjust to temperature changes so the marquetry surfaces don\u2019t crack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe eco-footprint of your normal kind of foam board is huge, and it\u2019s impossible to recycle.
