It's a fake pic! :lol: The Alaia board is still in the same state, but with the weather getting colder Ive decided to hook into my first Paipo (hawaiian bellyboard), particularly given Ive got this week off :D So I printed off a template, stuck it together and trimmed it. I then transfererd this to 3mm MDF to make a more rigid template Cut the mdf out with a jigsaw, sanded it down to get nice smooth lines. Transfer this to the Paulownia wood blank Final shape. Its reccomended that you leave an inch or so on the base so you can continue your shaping past the 'end' of the board to get nice clean lines. Next step is cut in the rails and a concave in the bottom with a hand plane, shape the nose, final sand then varnish. Plan is to take it for a surf by the end of the week :D
