7' Step Up build thread

At this time Im thinkin and liken double white

one on the lap and a thin one about 1/4" out on the yellow

but I will test all of your suggestions and post pics

As long as I have your color/s

Ken, Red/very dark orange, and BT apparantly has done it before, so he should know it looks the goods.

I vote super dark orange [alongside with another yellow one]as well. The red might make sb think of japan too much, with the wood forms, and then the yellow does not fit in. Orange!

Do tests !!

test lines

Im fond of Bills yellow/blue   but Im favoring the double white

 














I haven't been on swaylocks for ages. This is a beautiful thing. I noticed you used epoxy to put the veneer on . is this an epoxy styro build. I didn't catch that earlier. wonderful job

The green line looks best.

Ok, I’ll say it.  Howdga do all the test pins?

Pandanus

It has been a long time

it a pu/pe build

just used epoxy to lam the veneer

I just did like 10" sections with posca type pens

dindnt take long

white still looks the best.

again, all the other colors take away from the board.

hey ken,

nice work.

herb

hot coated the bottom and ready to route the Probox's

 


heres the deck all glossed and waiting to pull tape

I told you the wood would pop !!

 

heres a few more

 


fin box's are sanded and leash plug installed

shot gloss on the bottom a few minutes ago

and took a pic

garage is shut with the heater on time to go check it for gell

 

IMO the Lakers color pins looked the best :slight_smile:

are you going to make some fins for it ?

White and/or blue, I think. Absolutely beautiful work, no matter what you choose.

Ken,

Super job!

Black Pinline around the lap ..tieing in to thin black pins next to every wood panel/foam to set off the sunburst pattern..  all connecting to a solid black outline around the "star" in the center.

Its been decided to go with a double white pin line/s

what do you boys think?

remember theres no gloss on the deck as of this time so the pinlines overtake the boards asthetics

that will change when the gloss hits the deck
