    The particularly special feature of this stamp is the material. In general, an actual ski is made from a combination of different materials such as wood, metal and plastics. For this stamp block a similar production technique was used. A thin layer of aluminium-plastic composite was cut out to the shape of a ski tip using a CNC-controlled milling machine. The silvery surface of this aluminium composite was brushed, and when viewed from the side looks like the edges of a ski. Then a special acrylic glue was used to apply the yellow original ski coating, specially adapted in strength for the stamp. Just as it is in the production of actual skis, the image was printed as a mirror image on the back of the coating so that the design is seen on the surface through the ski coating.
