For wood boards, linseed or tung oil? As for cloth, Sir Roy of Stewart reckons cotton cloth works well (if I remember right).
Chipper, come home!
Please add us to the ‘‘lamination method’’. Vac-lammed high-fiber single skin is a little wordy,
but descriptive. We just call it Coil Construction.

You’re bring obnoxious. Mike’s just trying to get a list together and you’re pretty much spamming it.
Cloth - carbon fibre.
Lay-up method - Resin infusion,
Sorry but is has been done and is still being done and yes I’m fixated!
Rik

I wasn’t trying to spam, sorry huie (and Mike). We just don’t fit into the ‘‘box’’ of this or the composite industry’s terminology.

Wood Types, Collection, Shaping and Ritual
Three different kinds of wood were used for the four types of Hawaiian surfboard.
The kiko`o, alaia and paipo boards were made from either koa wood or ulu (breadfruit).
The “olo boards,” Duke Kahanamoku noted, “were constructed from the much lighter wood of the wiliwili.” This more preferred lighter type of wood was also used for outrigger canoes.
Of the three types of wood used to make ancient Hawaiian surfboards – wiliwili, ulu, and koa – commoners were, “denied the use of the lighter, and more satisfactory, wiliwili wood for the making of surfboards,” confirmed Duke Kahanamoku. “They had to settle for the heavier, less buoyant, koa wood.
It stood to reason then that the alii became the greatest surfers of those times.
They certainly had every advantage.
A man’s board became a mark of his standing in society – sort of a status symbol.”
“In ancient times,” Duke made a point of saying, “the Polynesians lay great spiritual importance to their surfing.
The stages involved in selecting a proper tree, cutting it down, preparing the wood, treating it, and finally launching it as a finished surfboard, added up to a process that was fraught with labor, complexities and ceremonies.”
“After proper blessings and incantations by the kahuna (priest)," Duke continued, "the tree was brought down and then trimmed of its branches preparatory for the final shaping. With only the assistance of stone or bone tools, the natives painstakingly shaped the wood into the desired proportions, then hauled it to their helau (canoe shed), where the prolonged, exacting work really began.
“Days of tedious scraping and cutting followed in order to obtain the wanted shape, depth, width and length. They strove for perfect balance, and sought to make the board fit the individual for whom it was intended. Each board was veritably custom-built and tailored to suit ‘wearer.’”
“After countless hours of chipping with stone or bone adzes," Duke went on, “the board gradually took on the desired shape, and was then smoothed and polished by hand to the slickness that promised minimum traction and maximum maneuverability. The wood was then rubbed down with rough coral to erase the adze marks, and finally it was polished with ‘oahi stone rubbers, all in the same way that the hulls of canoes were polished.”
“Kukui nuts were then gathered and burned to a soot, and subsequently made into a dark stain. When applied to the wood, it brought out the fine grain and made the board a thing of shining beauty. In some instances the boards were stained a dark color with the root of the ti plant (moke ki). In others the natives resorted to making a stain from the juice of banana buds and charcoal from burnt pandanus leaves. In either case, when the stain became thoroughly dried, a preservative of kukui oil was rubbed in by hand, giving the surface an even glossier finish.”
Nathaniel Emerson, in a 1892 article entitled “Causes of Decline of Ancient Polynesian Sports,” mentioned the protective finish of the canoe and surfboard. “This Hawaiian paint had almost the quality of lacquer. Its ingredients were the juice of a certain euphorbia, the juice of the inner bark of the root of the kukui tree, the juice of the bud of the banana tree, together with a charcoal made from the leaf of the pandanus. A dressing of oil from the nut of the kukui was finally added to give a finish.”
Nineteenth Centruy surfboard innovator and the first surfer of the modern period to restore traditional Hawaiian surfboards Tom Blake was told by Ken Cottrell, who witnessed this procedure, that a surfboard made of wiliwili was sometimes, “buried in mud, near a spring, for a certain length of time to give it a high polish… the mud entered the porous surface of the wili wili board acting as a good ‘filler’ for sealing up the surface.
When the board was then dried out the mud surface became hard and was polished and oiled to a fine waterproof finish.”

[]Filament winding with prepregnated single strand 4oz cloth wrapped three times around the board and then vacuum bagged and thermoset? []It seems to my understanding of filament winding and single strand that cloth may not be the term you intended.
