My first boards

I am so stoked as I just finished shaping my first round of boards over the last week. Now to shape two more over the next few days and I am set for the upcoming season. I want to say thank you to everyone out there, as I would have never been able to do it without you guys. This has been a dream of mine for so long. I look forward to learning more as time passes on. Now for the price of the two boards a year that I have been buying retail I can afford to experiment with a lot of different shapes. With several more questions and hours of reading the archives I hope to glass them starting this coming weekend. Thank you again to everyone.

that fish two from the right is beatufial…tell me how the glassing works out…im takin up a similar project quite soon

Icarus,

Nice quiver your putting together. I mailed your template today at 3:15 Calif. time. Should be there in 3 days. Maybe for your next board. I included some keel templates that you may want for your fish. Sorry I took so long. mike

well done icarus !!

don’t let them fly too close to the sun , eh…you KNOW what happens then !!

Seriously for a minute…

THANKS for posting that shot !!

Rooster: No problem as I am holding one blank aside for it. I am not in any rush. Thanks again.

If I fly to close to the sun I will only fall into the ocean. Would that be so bad? I think its to late any ways. I will post the dimensions for you later today when I get home from work. As you can tell I am very busy. Yeah Right as I am on Swaylock’s reading all day. I will not be coloring them because I have never glassed before and am worried that it might complicate things and draw attention to the errors. I did pick up some tint for the future and am dreaming about a retro fish tinted dark green.
