Because of what is in that thread, I allow myself to show you the boards I shape.

So far, I reached N°12 as a shaper, helped friends to shape their first one 4 times and laminated 15 (the last one becomes to be really clean an bubbleless).
That picture showes my 6 first boards before they were separated.
N°1 is the round tail single. (size about 6’3" x 19")
The diamondtail thruster (same template as shwuz’s) is my N°2. (size about 6’7" x 18"1/2)
The diamondtail thruster N°3 with a large red line is the first decoration I made and the first board that’ve been ordered by a friend.(size about 6’5" x 19"1/2)
N°4 is the steve lis fish… Was hard to achieve because there are virtualy no fishes like that in France and had to imagine everything after photos (and I read Swaylock’s a lot to). (size about 5’10" x 20")
N°5 is a swallow/wingers single fin. I made it for myself and the board behave like I hoped more or less. (size about 6’2" x 18"1/2)
The log is my 6th try. At last I painted large blue stris on it. (size about 9’2" x 22")
Then came that strange bonezr stubbie. (size about 6’0" x 20")
I cut it out a log I delaminated and reshape. Here you can read about it: http://lob.surf4all.net
The thing is I did not really need more boards at home. So, I made it to share it with friends met through the internet… like the single fin yellow. The project is called OMNI. So far, 6 users surfed it and it goes on travelling in France.
That one is the second french fryed fish I made. It really rides nice. Lovelly board. (size about 5"10" x 20):
That one is my first bonzer5. (size about 5’11" x 18"3/4)
At first, a friend I helped to shpe his N°1 wanted to make it his N°2 but each time he wanted me to show him. When it came to the rails first and then to the concaves, he was so affraid I had to finish it all. I cans tell I shaped that one 90%.:
N°9 is my first egg. A true spary and posca job. Very clean board (size about 6’4" x 20"1/2).
N°10 is for a friend who leaves bodyboard and starts surfing. He loves the board. (size about 6’6" x 19"1/2)
N°11 is what I called Evolufish. Big board for a beginner. He just had a Bic so far… (size about 6’8" x 20")
N°12 is the last one. The DOOR is the name of that board. It’s a Big stubbie bonzer3. (size about 6’8" x 21")
The two boards I made are the dark yellow (light brown) board, “the door” and the grey one, the little bonzer5.
Here we are.
You know everything almost.
