Nice, that Ash looks great. Gives me a guitar finish idea that could look really cool!

Plug fcs2 thruster+quad option then full layer 4oz warp with cheater coat
Tomorow board will stay in the hot box for full curing. Then first sand, finish coat and final sand.
This build will be on the stiff and heavy side, like a 6oz poly job on standard pu foam. Rider is heavy board is big, he want some weight. This build will be strong realy strong.

Yes, I really like what youâve in this build. Your a master at these cutting edge layups.
Looks awesome Lemat, it should be indestructible!
Got anymore finished photos to share with us.
Have loved this article.
Where did you get the Ashwood.
Not finish yet, need final sanding, hope i ll have time end of the week. I buy ash at wood veneer shop, 3m long 12cm wide 0,6 mm strips itâs cheap and easy to work with. Between glass fibers it add stiffness and thoughness, good against buckling a big problem with guy i made board for. Heâs heavy and brutal, surf in hollow waves donât care of him and even less of boards a shaper nightmare but a good layup tester LOL.
Can you elaborate on âbetween Glass fibresâ.
So if I was to do 2x6oz on the top (big guy myself) the veneer wouldnât be between the foam and 1st of the 2 glass layers that are on top of each other but it would be in the middle of the 2 glass fibres.
How do you make sure the 2 veneer sheets are perfect alongside each other. Do you glue them before hand (prior to the layup) or just adjust them accordingly during the lay up.
Regards
I put glass under and over veneer so itâs encapsulate, waterproofing both sides. Here i put 10oz biax under and 4oz warp over. I use masking tape to fix each strips.

How much does it weigh?
Beautiful job!
I donât know donât had time to weight, rider take it when i finish it, only can photos from shaping room to is car LOL.
He find it light. From my experince it feel same weight as a standard pu lam of same size. With as much marerial on it i donât expect less. Impossible to flex deck with thumb, slightly bottom. High overall stiffness, only way to survive to this guy LOL.
