Skateboards are made out of 7 sheets of wood, usually Canadian Rock maple. They are glued together with veneer. New designs have been putting carbon-fiber layers into their boards, specially designed layers with air pockets(Element Helium), and other parts to increase strength and decrease weight.
Usually they are made up of 7 very thin shaped pieces of wood called ply's. The pieces are layed ontop of each other forming a criss cross pattern with the directions of the grains of the woods and then glued together very tightly
