Ghunt- Nice work! Looks like a keeper, let us know how it rides. The glass shop you used certainly turns out some quality work too. TS>>> Ditto on that. Looks like a sweet ride. It must feel good. Thanks for > sharing.>>> Mike
Couldn’t get this message through to your email address: Thanks for the interest. I sat in on some of the shaping process with a friend prior to this, but this was my first board. I’m inspired by the mid to late 1960’s and just kind of went at it. I knew the dimensions I wanted; the wide point is about 6-in forward from center, the nose is wide at 19-in., and tail almost 15 in. Just draw an arc you like to connect the points and take your time! When you have something you like, cut it out, trace and cut onto some cardboard (or 1/8 sheet board if you want the template it to last), and, using the new template, mirror and draw to the other side. I found the red cedar easier to work with than some of the other woods. Do you have a copy of “Shaping 101”? That’s a very useful video for getting started. Also, keep with Swaylocks - it’s been a great help. Let me know if you have any other questions and good luck! -Gregg
