    Default Wood Surfboard Scale Model

    1st shed project in a long while. Found a piece of scrap fascia (hence the finger joint) and made a prototype. 12" x 4" x 1/2".
    Jigsaw, hand plane, belt sander, orbital, hand sand to 180 grit. Now to find some nice wood for the next one.

    cutting out the plan shape is easy, cutting back to form the rocker is a challenge. section.jpg

    IMG_20200110_143351.jpgI took some chunks out trying to give the 2nd board nose lift, either I was clumsy or the pine chipped too easily. Thought I had stuffed it, but kept going at it. I will get some filler and paint this model. Thinking about my next shape.

    Why?
    I would love to grow my own food, but I can not find bacon seeds

    Simple stand, allows people to pick up and feel the board (feel the contours and the wood) stand1.jpgstand2.jpg

    If I coat the board with a lacquer I will lose that raw sanded feel, so I might leave the boards raw. And I'm on the trail of some quality wood.

    You could use a wax or oil so that they keep their natural feel but won’t fingerprint up when handled

    Now I'm confused!

    Do we have an old surfer who loves toymaking?
    OR
    A toymaker who would have loved to be a surfer?

    Great broads,

    just now need a "Hotrod Ford"

    Ford Vintage Surf Wagon.jpg

    or a "Sandman"

    Sandman Panelvan.jpg

    or a "VW Combi"

    VW Combi Surfie Van.jpg

    or a "Buggy"

    VW Buggy with surfboard.jpg

    to rack them up and head for the beach...

    Top job sir, Cheers, crowie

    No 4 with a cedar stain. For a first time staining attempt I am pleased with the result. (previous pic of no 4 was incorrect, I stained the raw wood)
