Shwood X HUF skateboard shadesss

The amount of innovation these guys are rolling out is amazing... check these wooden sunglasses made from broken decks! Eric Singer of Portland, OR's Shwood went down to LA to hang out with Keith Hufnagel and the guys at HUF, broke a board, and came back with an idea... this video documents the trip and the process of creating these rad shades.
