slumdog shaping.

the longboard got sanded today in our back street.
those little design details worked out OK too - rail taper, vee in the tail and nose concave:

mini simmons.

nearly done - just a case of cutting the notch in the keels for the locking tab and opening up the leash cup and vent. sanded up to 1200 both sides but i'll leave it a day to see if theres any bits i've missed. it isn't totally perfect but is better than the last one

monster.

The woodwork on the longboard is all done for now. its huge, but very light. Nose concave looks OK but might need a little extra, tapered rails and tail vee look pretty good also. Final shaping will start once we get a dry evening - it is summer, after all

pinline.

nearly done - love it when a plan comes together...

A friend sent me a funny link from the surf a pig blog - I guess theres no such thing as an original idea on the internet these days. My board logo is way cooler though, which counts.

finbox.

routered out the holes for the lokbox boxes - worked out just fine with my home-made jig.
home straight now - pinlines and final coats this week then maybe job done by the weekend
