Sage Hen Studio
We make stuff we like and hope you like it too!
Brian and Christine found themselves in Austin after many years in cities far too big and fancy to mention in polite company.
Happiness settled upon their home and they settled into new routines that included more time spent making things for their home and friends. Brian in the wood shop and Christine in her studio.
After years of practice and patience they have decided to sell some of their favorite things to make and use to you.
Everything is made by hand with consideration for our neighbors and the environment as guide for our material and construction choices.

Hardwood Longboards & Cruisers
Our boards are all handmade by us for you to carve the perfect turn on your own or with your friends. These are built with modern harware to smooth your way or conquer mellow hills.
We build by hand with care for people seeking a retro look with the soft ride that a wide deck and wide trucks provide over medium wheels for easy street rides across campus or town.
Each board has a personality all its own and will be unique due to the fact that wood is invariably variable and they are made by humans and not machines.
Vintage Pintail Cruiser $199 (ships free in US)
Our version of this timeless classic is 42” long and as wide as 9” - this one is smooth and flowy on wide trucks and medium-hard wheels to eat up the bumps life brings us and is a favorite across generations.
New riders like the easy feel that this platform provides and old-heads like that it can build up some moderate speed on low hills.
This one looks amazing sitting still and shows up really well in Walnut with contrasting stripes.
(People usually choose between this one and the The Vintage Cruiser.)
California Cruiser $199 (ships free in US)
A beloved board for the boardwalk that easily fits in your car so it is ready when you are. This is an easy rider and sits low on wide trucks and fat wheels to keep things copacetic. Low stress, slow turns, easy breezy is the vibe you will get riding this one. Gordo excels on sidewalks and boardwalks and is fine on pebbles and sandy lanes to get you safely to the beach. It makes a great seat (flip it over) when you get there too.
(People usually choose between Gordo and The Captain.)
Classic Cruiser $199 (ships free in US)
a full sized longboard that is big enough to cruise with ease and still small enough to maneuver around town. This is board at home by the beach, on boardwalks, and riding through parks with moderate grades and rolling hills. This is our most popular board here at the studio and gets a lot of use.
(People usually choose between The Classic Cruiser and The Vintage Pintail.)
The Captain $175 (ships free in US)
Not quite a Penny Board, not a full sized board this one is great for zipping around town or office. This is great board for experienced board riding humans of any age who want a little more performance; tighter turns and easy pick up, along with the vintage style of the hard wood. The captain fits in most back packs and book bags.
(People usually choose between The Captain and The California Cruiser.)
