I have a Jacobs 211, single fin that I want to pull a template from and shape my first board. It’s a 7’10, rounded pintail. Anyway, I heard he uses Walker blanks. Anyone know what blank I should use, either in walker or equivelent Clark? I really don’t expect to come out with an exact clone but really love this board and want to get as close as possible. Finally, is this model - the Jacobs 211, similar to the Copperfish Comet? I ask because I found some info on blanks that Gene Cooper uses on his website and in the archives here. Thanks. This would be my first shaping project. Any other tips or advice is appreciated.
clark 8_3E, and i think cooper uses a walker 8_3, but i’m unfamiliar with the walker blank. if your board was to be a tad shorter, there is a clark 7_9E. good luck with your project.
