Paint on wood(!?)...

Hi there, Sways good people(& truly experienced)!

Long time no see you! I mean…

Just finished fiberglassing this two, when the idea of painting a thin pinline crossed my mind… Deep inside I think this woodboards are a beaty by themselves, no demanding extras on decoration(or mistakes to hide). But there is allways a first…

As I did  with the fins, no glass on´s this time, used some “Future” fin sistem. Very much because I travel with one of those(by plane), and big pain in…Also cause the money you get selling this surfboards is not enough to pay both fin construction and glass-on, as it is easy to find beatifull wood fins on the market. The same way it is possible to adapt the board to each one style and knowledje with the amount of shapes disposible.

Well, the dilema is the whether to or not to paint a pinline! What do you people like? What would you people do if you wanted to put this kind of surfboards in a shop for selling?

Thank you all , and…  Have fun!

Miguel, my wood working friend.

Yes, pinline it!

All those little accents just bring out the craftsmanship.

I do it whenever I can.

Good looking board.

I love the red colored grains.

I second that, I’m a big fan of pinlines and color on wood boards…

No restrictions at all with art on wood Miguel…if you use paint or resin , it’s advisable to seal the wood first to prevent any bleeding into the woodgrain… considering the wood your using Barry is your man with the clues.

eu concordo em fazer o PinLine, acho que fica mas comercial…mas confesso que nunca vendi uma prancha de madeira, não faço a mínima que gosta o pessoal pelas lojas onde as vendes? 

acreditas que deixé a prancha ha mas de 6 meses na oficina dum amigo e ainda não a fibrou!!! a próxima fazo eu proprio tudo, esto e um processo demorado!!!

bom, avisa quando vens pelos algarves a ver se da para mandar uma surfadas na barrinha de faro o na ponta ruiva!!! igual podemos ir a comer um arroz de polvo em santa luzia com a malta que trabalho!

abraço e boas ondas

I like it plain and I like it with paint stripes. How’s a bouts pin stripes on deck ,bottom all wood grain:)

thats some serious nice wood work going on,keep up the good work!

Thank you Barry, thank you all!

Ok good people… Agree it will add value, comercial, aesthetic and will personalize it more among others agave´s.

I notice no purist to defend the simplicity of the nature, the pure simple good of true roots. 

Obrigado também a ti Carlos…A prancha ainda por fibrar!? Qualquer dia tem bicho! lol

Sim tou a ver se vou agora em Julho até à Vicentina…Ruiva,Cordoama, Vila do Bispo, por ali. A ver se te digo alguma coisa.

 

Have fun!
