if you are using a hydraulic press then you need a lu\mber supply that specializes in vaneers like a cabinetry place... if you just wanna mess around and make something out of Home Depot wood, use a thick birch sheet of plywood, maybe $50, but will make about 20 longboards.

The disadvantages of using a cheap longboard are that they tend to be made of stiffer wood and when you ride the longboard there is no give or flexibility which gives a very unstable ride.
The "best" wood depends on if you want your longboard to be flexible, stiff, light, or heavy. Maple is a common wood used to build stiff longboards, it is a tad heavy but not really a problem. An alternative to this is Baltic Birch wood, it is cheaper than maple but a little more flexible. Bamboo is also used on longboards but may be harder to press and access. If you are going to make a longboard I would recommend using fiberglass on the bottom and maybe even top layer to add some strength.
It depends on the type of wood used to make it. It will probably range from 3.5-4.5 lbs.
Well to make a good one. some ply wood, clamps, glue, fiber glass, some time, a saw,
No, you'll need some stronger type of wood.
This depends on what discipline you are going to be practicing. Common woods used are maple, birch, and bamboo.
bamboo is the best for a good flexable board, but if you cant get that maple wood is the second best
wood it is wood they make the every thing out of wood like spoons houses chairs and etc
