You can't know untill you try it. I had been giving alot of thought to templates and there seems to be a range that most boards (that I could find dimentions for, thanks Poobah) were in a similar size range. I just assumed that it was for some really good reason, but I don't know what that reason is. Looks like I need to do some more thinking on templates.

Roy - I've been trying to figure out where you're going with the paipo project. I must admit that it's hard for me to imagine where each step is leading but it's finally starting to make sense. Looks great I might add!

Thanks John, It's a fun one to build, kind of an oversized bath toy! Very Happy

I have now added the deck and started shaping the rail.

The upper deck shows some nice color with the resin coat. Your web page mentions the woods in the lower deck and bottom panel, but not what kind of wood you put on the very top.

Also...would you please tell us a little more about the "rough shaping" process? The rails.

Hi Larry,
The deck and bottom are made from salvaged plantation grown redwood. The plantation grown timber is typically fast growing and light, with widely spaced growth rings. It is a bit tricky to shape because it has bands of hard and soft grain, but it has some interesting colour variations. The rails are a continuous round section, so the shaping process consists of first marking and then making two facets at 45%, and then four smaller facets, two at 22.5%, and two at 67.5%, after which it is rounded off by eye. This is simple in principle, but the rail structure has five layers with grain of different density going in different directions so it takes some patience to get it right. Final rail shaping and fairing is done using resin coats , which makes all the timber equally hard.

Regards, Roy

Here's the bottom. Timber is full of surprises, I haven't seen redwood with this kind of grain before!

Surprised Wow! The redwood bottom is fantastic. Too nice to be captured in a still photograph. You have to see it in person and move your head slightly to appreciate the shimmering gold in the wood. Right? Better than watching television.

The 'Acid Drop' project is complete. The board is being auctioned (no reserve) at

http://www.trademe.co.nz/structure/auction_detail.asp?id=17432075

I am selling the board without fins. It is set up to take a large singlefin, fish fins or a ten inch orbulator.

Pictures of the finished board are at

http://www.woodensurfboardbuilder.com/Kneeboard.html

And the construction pics are still at

The board has not yet been ridden. The 5'9" version rode nicely. Very Happy
