ok guys , ozzies, what does a 7’6 x20 to float a 100kg guy cost. i have no idea about comp sands
Geez mate you look like a goth in that crappy light
Ugly bastard 
Heres the latest from me lammed, first one i’ve done with our new rice paper lams, stoked!

Kit…
I AM a Goth, comes from working too many midnights in little blue rooms.
These other shots are’nt a whole lot more flattering…at least you can see the board.
I’ve been to a supplier back in Aus lately to check out the veneers available. I’m excited…there is natures art in each leaf of whole logs.

hey josh,
i just got some beautiful veneers from a place called amerind ply in leather st. breakwater.
you should check it out. they have an amazing amount of veneers and ply’s…
Nice tip Shifty, I’ll go there…
I’d been to one in Port Melbourne…I try to avoid driving to Melbourne these days.
Plys will be interesting too for sure.

they have a lot of bending ply’s which are probably more suited to my boards but the veneer selection is amazing and quite cheap.
i paid $15 for a sheet, 2500 by 500 mm…african jarah… beautiful!!
What thicknesses of ply?
I’ve had no joy getting veneer thicker than .6mm and thats not a sandwich skin…it needs to be put on top of Balsa. That gets arduous.
Danny Hesse’s skins are poplar bending ply apparrently…I love the look of those.

saw one of Danny’s boards yesterday at wetsand, the skin was completely clear (super super light yellow, almost white) with one 5-6" stripe of rich browns going nose to tail…the thing was SO beautiful!!
If you can handle the extra weight, it opens up a lot more options.
Hess has it right… make 'em beautiful and don’t care about weight.
People are buying his boards now because they are heavy, he’s made that type of look and ride his signature.
Killer looks and a smooth as silk glide
It’s crazy eh, veneers are so much less work, but most people say they look better!
A veener supplier near me told me they used to stock Paulownia ply! So bummed they don’t any more

I have built a couple of boards with just veneer over EPS. They end up being heavy and much less durable than the balsa skinned ones.
Hey marke
That board looks so nice , love the dark veneer stripe . What was your glassing schedule when using the veneers over eps ?
Cheers

It was a few years ago now but it was a lot. I think 4oz under and then 6oz on the bottom and 2 x 6oz on the decks. Water got inside the walnut one and it turned blotchy. I have got water in my 1/8" balsa skinned boards and had no problems.
