: It has been a long time coming but the epoxy work is done and we
: plan to take it out after work on Monday for a wet test before
: we varnish. It is looking pretty good, I hope it will paddle
: half as well as it looks. I give it an A for artistic design, a
: B for contruction, and performance is yet to be determined. It
: came out at 42 lbs and built to take the abuse of college life.
: I think 35 lbs would be a realistic weight for a board that is
: taken care of. Glass and foam boards of the same size are closer
: to 30-32 lbs. I have not finished the blade for the birds mouth
: paddle yet so we will have to use this heavy monster paddle I
: found on the south shore of Antelope Island.

Very cool board! What woods did you use?
