Rich, I can’t post a pm for some reason. I can post a pic of the template I ‘plagiarized’ and the board. Mike
Rich, Mike, let me see if I can send you a picture of that keel Fin.
A template and the fin depth will suffice.
Do you want glass-ons?
Polyester/6oz.?
Stay Stoked, Rich

Love your work brother, these were a whim, found the chunk in the bin, had been part of a cupboard or an art installation or something, was keen for the kids helping me with the slats of cedar be able to get a pair to play with, they were pretty stoked.
I will definitely be on the look out for any good ply.
BUUUUTTTTTT, I have a bout 300 sheets of 2MM thick single layer white birch and hoop pine veneers, and about 50 sheets .06 mm really dark red Malaysian hardwood veneers, so if I get really motivated I can make custom ply for myself, but in typical fashion I have seen the light of how much potential there is to make your own fins and the my obsessive tendencies allow me to make something half decent.
The joys of having made custom downhill racing skateboards in the past…
Polyester, yes. Glass on, yes. I’ll take a pic of the template tomorrow. Board, too. That would be cool, Greg. Mike
The photo is perfect, mate.
I’ll look through my templates.
I’m fairly sure I have this one stashed.
I have panels already layed up of poly/glass
that could easily be foiled for this template.
Just sing out and I’ll get to grinding.
One panel is opaque orange and could be foiled
A) solid orange with a flat side
B) solid orange 70/30
C) solid orange with a clear halo flat sided
D) solid orange 70/30 with a clear halo.
also have a transparent light yellow/green
that could produce several combinations of
one color or with a halo.
I have a flat panel like the one attached that could work too.
All the panels are poly/glass.
Stay Stoked. Rich

Thanks to Grasshopper for the pictures. He owns then now. Hoping he will build a nice fish and use them and let us see what he comes up with.
Those are them. 8.25 base. 4.5 tall. 10 inch cord. Do it Rich. Let me know the details and I’ll send some $$$. My board is 6-3, 15.5 nose 21.5 3 inches in front of center, 16 tail. 11 inches between tips. Bit of a channel right up the center. I’ll try to post pic. of the board if it helps. Thanks Greg! Mike
Let me know if you don’t have the template. I’ll give it back to you. Hah! Or, if you have something else you would like to try in a keel theme let me know. Mike
greg was very generous to pass those fins my way. if you have the immediate need for them, i would be glad to pay them forward.

Very cool offer grasshopper. Let’s see what Rich wants to do. Here’s some photos I hope… Mike
Not a Theory 
A working reality for 28 years . And way longer for single fins .
Lift , Plane and Release
Incredible foils Greg Griffin. Do you sell these or do I buy a board to go with the fins? Kidding. Killer boards, too. Mike
I never get tired of looking at your fins, Griff.
attached are three panels that I described earlier in the thread.
Yo Rooster,
Let me know which one and how you want it foiled.
I’ll PM you or send you and email when they’re ready to go,
which will be this week or next depending on how the chips fall.
The light colored panel shows more yellow than it does in the photo
and the black is the same lined transparent as in the fins show above
in this thread.
Stay Stoked, Rich
