That’s a really beautiful board, the full-length balsa makes a huge aesthetic difference. It’ll be interesting to see if you notice a flex difference in the full-length wood as opposed to the shorter model-type balsa. We’ve laid up the shorter pieces in herringbone (high flex), staggered pattern lengthwise (somewhat reduced flex) and in full length (stiff but still springy with a little pressure). I’d love to hear of your results correspond to mine on that end.
6.5 lbs? Somehow I think that’ll go just fine!
Once again, a lovely piece of work.
