Hey Neira.

I’ll take that as a good compliment.

No… thats the gloss and polish finish HONEST :slight_smile:

I did wait till the sun was going down till I took the photo. This makes the boards look like a mirror.

The red board did not turn out as good as the other 2.

that’s a very nice three board quiver you’ve made there , Brian !!

It got me thinking on what mine would be if I was to have three boards…

Now , do you by any chance have the group shot bottom view of those three boards , please ? [I’d like to see the fins !]

cheers !

Hey brian,

Nice boards, would love to hear how you get on with the fish. I’ve got a 6’2" fish blank waiting to be shaped next. Have you got a rough idea on how much resin you used on that board. So far i’ve only shaped 7 foot plus minimals so a quick heads up on the resin amounts might save me loads ending up on the floor!

Cheers

Hey Ben

I’ll have more photos hopefully tomorrow / next day.

I’ve finiahsed the twin keels for the fish but I still have to lay up the cloth inlay fin for hte long board (the one we spoke about late last week) and I’ve also gota do a fin for the Gun.

I’ll be doing a 6’6" or a 6’8" shortboard some time in the next couple of months as well to complete the set

Talk later

Brian
