Hi Halfdan Last year i became father (the very best project ever) , so my projects were slowed but not stopped, i finished my press, i am testing glues, especially between the wood and the base, i have tried with polyurethane glue but does not work well, i will try with epoxy glue, not epoxy resin. ...

And what about the Elan Amphibio skis?, they had asymmetrical rocker, it is not the same idea, but it works in the same direction. http://content.sportpursuit.com/media//amphibio.jpg http://www.damngeeky.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Elan-Amphibio-Waveflex-82-XTi-skis_3.jpg A frog is an amphibian i...

Serge Dupraz has thought of that, I'm not sure if it is correct or just a trick to sell more skis, in a couple of weeks I will try these skis. You could take a look of the d2 skis, the idea it is interesting. http://dupraz-skis.com/ http://www.dupraz-skis.com/uploads/users/images/D2_shape_principles...

If the aluminium has bonding problems, why not use titanium?, anybody knows if has the same troubles, and why now it´s used most titanal, it´s better, cheaper, or easier to use? And if the aluminium it´s used for its dampness properties why use titanal? it´s the stronger aluminium, that´s right, but...

Triaxial layers of bamboo ready to glue.
Next step, bamboo core

0,6 mm bamboo sheet, now time to cut and glue the sheets to make 45º layers

Finally i have decided to reply the icelantic scout skis, but instead camber i will build the skis with full rocker. Short, fat, full rockered, good floatation, and plenty of fun. The skis measurements 1473 length, 1100 running length, 140-110-130 width, 210 nose length, 163 tail length, sidecut rad...

That's right Vinman, triaxial bamboo plywood instead of triaxial fiberglass. The triaxial FB thickness of a typical 22 oz fabric is 1mm, 0,7 mm FB + 0,3 mm resin, i think the resin is neglibible for calculation, so the real thickness is 0, 7 mm and Young Modulus of 72 MPA. The triaxial Bamboo Plywoo...

Finally i am doing a pair of wooden skis, but using only wood. So i will use a combination of bamboo layers instead of the triaxial fiber glass, the bamboo layer is 0,6 mm thickness, 2 layers 0º, 1 layer 45º and 1 layer -45º. I do not know if I can do this simple reasoning, the fiber glass has a you...

Thank you all, buff, is much information in one fell swoop, I have to study all your work, but I've taken a look and looks great. Glad to see that it is possible to make a ski that works only in wood.
