I rough shaped this board by hand tools during the recent Salem County: Arts in Bloom Event and finished it up over the weekend. To be honest I enlisted the help of some power tools for final sanding and blending. I glued the blank from book-matched Paulownia with water resistant glue. It features a gentle concave on the back third of the bottom for control. It has a rubbed boiled linseed oil finish. The polka dots are hand burned into the wood. Dimensions are 5'2 x 15 1/4"x 3/4" .
The shape will be great in shore break or lined up surf. It could also be ridden standing up for the more petite alaia enthusiast.
