"Perfect Trim" sculpture

A new sculpture for my non existent blog posts... Perfect Trim is a small sculpture on a hunk of royal paulownia. The board is made of bass wood with a mahogany and maple t-band and a paduk fin. finishing off the sculpture is a patina copper wave lined with small pieces of driftwood. This surf art sculpture will be for sale on my Etsy site. Sorry for the blurry pics.

2 of Lances' wall hanging boards...

Here are 2 boards I finished for my friend Lance for wall art. The first is made from brazilian cherry, red oak, purple heart, and yellow heart with blood wood and maple nose and tail blocks. The fin is made from 12 sheets of fiberglass cloth with a mahogany stringer running through it. The second board is made from 1/4 sawn red oak and black walnut w/ mahogany nose and tail blocks. The fin on this one is made from red oak and mahogany.

Enjoy Lance!

Andy's Firewire finished...

Here's a pic of the finished firewire of Andy's that I posted in a prior post... more from the ding room . It turned out really good. I'm getting better at these major epoxy repairs. Better late than never, I guess.

Anyway, it's all finished out and ready to hit the water again buddy. See you soon.

more from the ding room...

As I've said before, I also fix surfboards. With surfboard technology constantly changing these days you need to step your game up. I got a friends buckled Firewire a few months back and have been researching how to fix it. The big thing was to get the cracked EPS back together. I had to inject 2/1 pour foam into the crack, cut back the extra, and then add an epoxy/ferring filler combo to take care of any extra bubbles. Then I sanded it back and wrapped it. Tomorrow I'll sand the wrap back and give it a final coat of epoxy. Then I'll do a final sand and paint it so you can't even tell.

New 3' boards in the works...

I've been working on some boards for clients lately. These are all around 3' , hand glued and shaped. The first 2 are for Lance and are going to be wall hangers. #3 is for a large sculpture and is once again inspired by Mike (Gnar Gnar) Black's Pig project. The 4th will be for a large sculpture also which will be placed in a local dentist office. # 2 & 3 will get glass chopstick fins that I am about to mount today. More pics to follow.

Evolution Surfboard Painting...

I love working w/ stencils and spray paint. There is something simple yet complex about it. Here is something I did on a board for the shop.
