That is pretty cool. It would kick ass if you went and got some transparent colored water seal and applied it to the pine. Like a colonial blue.

Did you just happen to have two identical boards knocking about or did you buy them especially?

Ha, I'm ashamed. I'm a wood guy and I thought it was pine. I had my suspicions of it being treated or not and the board on the front in the front view through me off as well. I guess I should have just considered your location and that would have narrowed it. Anyway, no matter what it is, even if it is treated it will work the same. As far as consumer water seals, I like Cabot the best. But if you are going for a color, I think Thompson's water seal is by far the best as far as color selection. The Thompson's Water Seal comes in Transparent colors, meaning you can still see the wood grain. It is pretty attractive. It is an oil base so it soaks into the wood. It does not lay on top like a paint. When it says UV protection, that just means it has boiled linseed oil in it. Redwood has a lot of tannins in it, that is what makes it durable and insect resistant. But it does not carry those tannins in an oily form such as that of Teak. It is much softer and more permeable. A transparent water seal will work just fine. If you take one of your cut offs, they should have something transparent at the counter where they can show you how it would look.
If you decide to do it, make it easy on yourself. Take your snowboards off, go to the dollar store and buy you an all purpose squirt bottle. Squirt it on and wipe the access off with a rag. It will take you 5 minutes. If you rub it on like they say, it will take much longer with more uneven results. You can't mess it up with a squirt bottle.
I said colonial blue because I think it would really make the colors of the snowboard pop. But they might have a nice gray that would look good too. I think a solid color such as a painted gray would look cool too, like a light shade of gray.

Very nice! Now power wash that fence and use "Superdeck DB1910" on it. It will look brand new for years to come.
