thas a very nice board, very shiny, what type of cloth did you use for the inlay?

Also I noticed the purple line, I’m guessing that’s to hide the egde of the cloth, like a pin line, or does it hold the cloth in place while you apply the resin? what material did you use for that?

howdy wood

the material I used was a Thia batinked (sp?) dye they (somewhere in Thialand) spread this cotton cloth out in the rice fieilds and throw dyes on

the pin lines are done after sanding coat with Posca paint pen

From what I can see you are very good at this. Keep it up, you got the nack. Nice board.

WOW!! What a nice looking board.

Here is the kind of killer job that makes you order a new blank and run for the planer and squeegee.

Thanks for keeping up the stoke! I wish you score millions of great waves with that beauty in 2005, 2006, 2007…

I can understand that, CFPerry.

I am going to shape an old school longboard to be donated to the winner of the lottery that we organized on the french “Shaperoom.net” site. The funds raised will go to the Red Cross for tsunami victims in Asia.
