Love this
Tom
she's all done
got her polished up and a coat of car polish/wax
just for shitz I threw on the surfari zebra wood fins
enjoy the eye candy............
I would be afraid to surf it. Too beautiful. If I whacked it on a rock I would break down and cry!
that thing is sick…not sure i could surf it either…be way to worried
ken, i love the result
what is the price of the board? or do you keep it yourselves? did you log the tiime you work on it? i always want to but never succeed, so many things going on at the same time, prepping, etc
again i love it ken!
make whitney be as good as you are too!

price? This one was actualy made to be hung in my bedroom, I didnt put a price on it but as they say "everything has its price" Got an offer?
as far as time ,,,I try but (like you say) I forget also, but if I was to guesstimate I would figure it this way,,, I started this thread after I shaped up the blank on the 9th of Feb. and thats 3 weeks from today so 21 days
Ive worked on it almost everyday from 2 - 6 hrs a day so lets average it to 4 hrs a day
so 21 x's 4 = 84hrs minus a few days ,,lets say 70 Hrs labor
you can do the math of the materials about $300 plus the cost of the veneer
So let me ask you,,,,, What do you think its worth?
As for Whitney,,, slow and steady wins the race!
hey Ken,
personally, i am not into wallhanging new boards, only old ones
You ask what i think it is worth? What could be interesting is to stick it on ebay at 1500$ and see what happens? if you put 300+70 hours at 10$ netto in, … 1000 buck would be reasonable.
what do you think?
i would want the money to make an even better one. I am sure you have a lot of ideas already on how to do that?
it was a fun thread, and really enjoyable, thanks for sharing!

wouter
Im glad you enjoyed the thread
for now its hung up
Thank you for appraising the Sunburst Board
Its official ,,,,,,,,,,Bidding starts at $1000.00
Ha Ha!!
Oh I made some racks to hang it
Ken-
I have absolutely no doubt that you could find someone to pay $1000 for that board… and that person would be getting a deal. A lot of gorgous boards and fascinating build threads are posted on this forum (Wood-Ogre’s most recent comes to mind) and this board ranks right up there with the best of them. Thanks for sharing it with us.
wouter-
veneer doesnt appeal to the youngin’s as much as the more mature crowd ;)
luckily there’s something for everyone.
but i’m taking notes…
and ken… this board surpasses all.
way to go Ken! one of the top 10 build threads for sure! board looks great!
This is a really nice one Ken!
And the outcome of the color is at its best on a dark blue ocean! (not that white wall

thanks for the comp's
Im not sure if it deserves to be in the top ten, I was trying to stay focused so much I forgot to take pics of some details of the build.
I think I will be building another hanger for a guy in the Marine's
his girlfriend is funding it and they want some Marine coat of arms and camo color
wont that be fun!

thank you too ravenna
your right about the background color , it does need to be blue
Thanks for the inspiration too create surfboard art. Someday my goal is to make one nice enough to hang on a wall.
For now I’ll keep scratching my head trying to figure out how to get there.
