Here is the outline and deck after rough sanding



A a side shot.

After planing off the bulk, I have been reducing the volume by had sanding.



It still needs to be thinner in the rails with a bit of roll on the bottom,

Bob,are you doing it with the hand plane in the foreground or using an electric planer ? Are you living in one of those classic raised 'Queenslander' homes with room underneath where you can build a shaping bay ?
It looks great so far.

Mike,

Your message prompted me to go and add a tail block. I noticed some of the wood had split in the tail, so an hour earlier I cut a few inches off the tail. The tail block is probably western red cedar, so not anything hard but hopefully it stops any further splitting. Thickness wise, it is about 10 mm in the rails and a little thicker throughout.

Brett,

Our place was built around the 20s or 30s and so is federation style. It's big feature is a cornice with kookaburras and flowers. There is space downstairs, but it is a bit dark (bricked in) and there is still plenty of dirt - not ideal for making boards.

The board is looking ok, probably not too bad for my first effort. The real test will be how it rides. I've asked santa for some tung oil, so it will be oiled post Christmas. Hopefully, board number 2 will be finished by then as well.

Bob

Hi Eef, I always feel jealous when I see your boards, the artwork just brings a smile to my face.
Heres an idea that might work when I saw the wood that you use.....
How about a paipo with a flat centre section(blue) of any shape but then add flat sides that are screwed to the sides of the centre piece.
The side pieces can be shaped with nose lift so that the centre piece can have nose rocker and the side pieces can have also have fins built into the bottom edge on each side.



Summin like that, the centre piece could also be built up of several pieces so the whole board is 4 or 5 pieces that get screwed together. Itd be small enough to travel with, like a kit version of an alaia or paipo.

Nice one Soulglider ! The shape is clean and simple, just as I like.
It's got lots of width and looks very thin, especially the rails.
What sort of decoration will you do ?
Will you glass it yourself ?

i will be glassing it myself. 2 6's on the bottom, 1 6 on the deck along with 1 layer of kevlar for flex and strength. the art is going to be random pencil and color. i tend to like boards that my friends and others have. the boards that have been worked on over and over again. the "i broke off my fin, i dont know what i'm doing but i'll try and fix it anyway" look. or "i have some carbon fiber a friend gave me i wonder how that'll work over here", look. i just got this paint, i wonder what'll it look like if...see my paintings at http://timcatonart.blogspot.com/

"Like you see, everybody, what they’re doing now is just making a copy of all of the versions of what we had before. They are calling them twin fins and all that, we used to have it in our days, just like what you call channels now, but with two ridges on either side, just like catamarans. That’s what we called a twin fin in our days with no fins – on a belly type of board, with grooved, channel bottoms. And it holds! You can stall them, you can do turns, just like you do on a twin fin."

-Rabbit Kekai talking about the early days.
