Redy and myplaylistnumber9 put split ply and engraving on one deck

What caught the poster's eye is the construction, not just the name on the bottom. He calls MP9 "one of my newer favorite artist/creatives" and singles out the combination of two techniques:

• Split ply: contrasting veneers cut and recombined so the pattern runs through the layup, which means the color shows in the edges and keeps showing as the deck wears.
• Engraving: the post names it but does not say where it sits on the deck or how it was done.

Putting both on one board is a collector's pairing. Split ply lives in the layup; engraving is surface work. Neither the post nor any listing we have says which maker handled which part, so we are not going to guess at the split of labor.

The post reads less like a review and more like a mood. "Seeing worlds collab like this always makes me stoked," u/bigboofpack1 writes, adding that it makes him realize "the hobby is still in good hands." The headphone emoji in the title hints at where MP9 comes from creatively, but the post does not spell it out, and we won't either.

That is the real story here: a deck maker teaming up with a creative from outside the usual circle, and a collector treating it as proof the scene is still pulling in new people.

At the time of writing, the post is the only material we have. It does not give:

• the deck's width, shape or ply count
• a price, a run size, or whether it is still available
• how the engraving was made or where it sits
• where the collab was sold

Neither Redy nor myplaylistnumber9 has said more in anything we have seen. If you want the closest look available right now, the original r/Fingerboards post has the photos and the thread.
