New SUP trophy for the Coronado SUP Surf Crew

Here is the Sup trophy for the CSUPSC. It came out awesome. I burned and wire brushed a piece of pine for the base. The Deck is a red oak, brazilian cherry, mahogany, yellow heart glue up w/ a hand hammered copper wave attached. The SUP surfer is on a mahogany board on a spring w/ a red oak and brazilian cherry paddle. Behind the plaque is a  black walnut backer.

I hope you guys have a blast @ your BBQ.

Anyone interested in custom sculptures/trophies are welcome to email me @ www.info@JKSurfArt.com , I will offer up estimates per description of project.

Custom Sculpture for Andrew...

Andrew asked me to make a sculpture for his sister and her husband. 2 surfers on one wave symbolic of a shared life together...

The base is 2 types of mahogany, red oak, & yellow heart. Board #1 is mahogany & bass, board 2 is pine w/ painted stripes. The wave is hammered copper w/ a patina. In the background is an ugly hawaiian shirt from my collection.

The Alaia project...

I started the "Alaia Project" @ the beginning of January. I went off to the mill inspired by the works of Tom Wegner and some video on YouTube of guys like Christian Wach riding Alaias. I began looking for home grown Jerzy wood. I thought a white cedar would be a good local wood to use keeping the wood locally harvested, glued and shaped.

Well, so much for that at this moment. I ended up with Philippino Mahogany for the first few boards, w/ full intention of bringing it full circle back to a total jersey project.

I glued up 2 blanks so far. 1 for a 7'8 Alaia & 1 for a 4' Paipo (Pipe' o) or bodyboard.

I finished off the Paipo the other day. Here is a bottom shot. Now off to work on the Alaia.
