Hollow Wooden Cedar Strip Kite-Surfboard

[KUS]

Pasta those look soooo great, won't you TRY to build a windsurf waveboard? That would be so cool

I like all your personal protective gear, not sure about the beachwood drying method tho with that unshielded fireplace, hope you don't burn yourself to the ground there

Wet-Sanded to 600 grit for a smooth butter feel. I'm testing it Fri!!

Thanks Joe and Speedy for your home milled cedar - I turned some of it into the racks and the last board on the right -The diamond tail 5'11". Thanks Fluffy for lending your new board for a rough pattern for that one. The last 2 are shaped only and no glass. My progression in learning and building are from left to right. Now the one on the left will get 'knocked off' as I keep building them as there is only room for 8 on there. There is enough Joe-cedar here for 10 more boards at least! I have more photos here: www.wave-amp.com

How are you creating the veneer from the milled cedar Greg?

I've got a decent sized cedar tree I need to fall and I figured this would be a good use for it as well!

I'm cutting cedar slabs into thin strips with straight edges and arranging them in an artful pattern with dark racing stripes Nanmoo! Clear wood is best I think or there will be weak spots on the decks or stingers. the tight grained cedar is stronger, and the wide grained is lighter.
