Fellow Wood workers post your woodwood that you do on surfboards. Wood is a cool medium and the look is really rich:
Here are some boards I did over 4 years ago.
Here’s one board: With a Velz Fin Template.

Aloaf I tried everything with no luck? I really wanted to share the photo’s of these longboard Balsas I did 4 years ago. I found the photo’s tonight. Reduced them in Photo Shop and save them for the Web. On any other site they will download however on swaylocks no go?

Found a way to post. Sorry for the mess!
These are the first boards I made that were all wood so I know I made a lot of mistakes.
2004 is when they were made. I used all of the wood and should have rejected the spalted pieces.
The ones I’m building now I was more carefull as to the wood selected. That’s part of the process.
The shapes are pretty bad so I want to keep making them and try and improve.
I don’t know…spalted balsa can look wicked cool under resin…
wide balsa tail block
nose and tail blocks
Pretty cool! Are we the only ones making wooden boards?
Sure there must be some others? Jim Phillips is the master.
His stuff is amazing!
I spent most of the last half of the week putting matching nose block and tail block of a 10 foot plus solid redwood Hotcurl that Donald Takayama shaped.
He knows when he needs the best quality done oh his collector boards that I’'ll follow right up in his foot steps.
This is some wood for your viewing pleasure
This is Sunset Beach last year with Matt Moletta riding one of the Hotcurls for the wood board movie, 11 feet of solid wood, finless
Classic Work by a Classic Shaper!
Holy shit! Amazing!
I really like the balance in this blank, a lot like Pat Curran or diffenderfer.
And the winner is…Eastern Pacific…with the correct answer. It is a Diffenderfer, that Mike and I built the blank after his first tumor surgery, he shaped it, I chambered and did the glassing on it.
It is tuition for my 12 year old son when he hits college
sneak preview
Experimenting.
The bubble wrap blues.
I never had a problem with resin soaking through 3mm balsa. 1/40" veneer is another ball game. I’m learning the hard way.
It’s been a very problematic build thus far. Today I put a sealer coat on and a good thing too. I walked in after about 20 minutes and thought my board was covered with eps beads. Upon closer inspection they were little bubble factories. I had to sit there a pop them all one by one. Actually they were not individual bubbles but little spots of foam. Just think if that had happened under glass!
