I’ve been lurking and reading pretty extensively here for awhile doing research for carving my first blank. Shaping is something I’ve wanted to do for 20 or so years and I’ve had a Clark planer (unused I might add) since about 1988-89. I’m pretty good with my hands (not a rocket scientist) and I’m leaping in so, please bare with me and my questions. I know already to search and ye shall find. My first board is looking to be a 6’0" “Flyin Pig” (based on the “flyer” bottom and the M10 “hogfish”. I just bought a 62C blank yesterday. I’m pretty excited about it. I’ve also decided to have a pro glass it, of course, if it comes out. I’ve got some radical design ideas I’ve always wanted to try that are at least 15 years old and never committed the $300 to have someone do it for me. But I better get through the first one first…
Thanks in advance and hello.
