you can do either
For real ski builders laminating yourself will give you the most input into your design and materials. For others (like myself) you can bypass this part of the woodwork by buying laminated wood. I am using vertically laminated bamboo. They are floorboards that are just conveniently ski core sized. You can buy sheets of bamboo ply as well that is vertically laminated.
Depending on where you are there are core makers too.

These guys are in the states I think but 15 pair min order

Snowboard materials in the USA and the board supply place in Europe may probably also can presupply cores.
