I’ve no guesses left. But I’d like to hear more about it when you release your product!

I did not want to say you’re not a pioneer, because you are one by trying it in surfboards ;).

I support you in keeping a lid on it. It’s different when you do things for living than being an amateur like I am.

Keep up the great work and keep experimenting! The future of shaping is in trying and doing new things. With all the mass production, shaping is not a craft anymore (like a baker who bakes the same bread everyday).

yorky

when I lam the bottom I do a cut lap to the edge of the wood

that evens it up

then glass the deck (wraping around the rails to the bottom)

143

Ken. yeah cool mate. that’s logical, the wood looks thick from the photo. All the best with it.

Dave (diverse) whats sort for Uni glass would you recommend for the rails instead of the carbon. The deck and bottom will have the same as the deck on the board above 4-4 x 4-4. with that brown/gold stuff as insert. maybe 6 oz? sound like you recommend it. i,m keen to give it a go.

7’4 hollow cedar pine cork…

glassing this weekend…

Hey Yorky

instead of carbon uni try r-glass, it is a uni glass, clear and available from Nuplex, if I remember right it is boron, 250gram same weight as the uni carbon you are using.

A quick search at Azom brought up Tensylon.

how the heck are you shaping the cork so cleanly?

the stuff refuses to cooperate with me!

147

finished this jungle board for a buddy of mine with a nice hand made fin from Larry

working on doing a Thrailkill double center on the copy of the above that I’m making for myself

and toying around with some different skin ideas…(I used some scrap cloth for the lam on the ‘inside’ there, so it looks wonky)

148

I start with a planer and finish it off with a belt sander. Then by

Hand. Aparently there is different densities of cork so maybe

That’s the problem you’ve been having.

Thanks to Paul Jensen and his amazing generosity, I started to build my first hollow wood board.

So far it’s going well and I’m really enjoying working with wood instead of foam.
