Waterlog on the table


This is my second hollow wooden surfboard. First one was built using plans bought on eBay. This next board is from Rich Blundell's 10' Waterlog plan. Mike at Grain Surfboards did me a huge favor and sold me just the cedar planks and rail strips I needed. Frame and keel are cut from marine plywood. The clamps are off now the keel to frame glue (3m 5200) is cured. It took 1 week to fully dry as I should have bought the fast cure version.

Next step is lay out the chine strips. They will fit into the small notches of the frames and ultimately define the shape of the board.
