RA, as a matter of fact they were named after somewhere. I hope to get them out there soon! Good luck with your next set. I just got the skis back from the local shop and I am very happy with the results. There are a few high spots on the ski that will come out with one more pass on the stone but th...

Yes the sidewalls are wood (Birch to be exact). The cores were made by ripping strips of Birch and Fir. (Fir is in the center of the core. I did not use a composite sidewall as I didn’t want to worry about bonding issues with the sidewalls until I have come up with a shape and profile I like. I will...

Back Nines
This is the second set of skis my brother and I have built so far and each has been a learning experience. They are at the shop getting their first tune as I type and the storm forecast looks promising for their inaugural run. I am hoping for a big stable platform for fresh and cut up snow. The dime...

I guess I am partly to blame for not reading the ulr before clicking on the “dded” link. I just did not think to look as it is skibuilders not TGR... As for the NSFW content the title of the webpage linked under the “dded” link is F*@#yoga dot com. Not exactly safe for work (at least where I work......

I have not used them but I have talked to alchemyskis about sub-laminating top sheets. Not sure what their cost would be for a larger quantity but the cost was a little more than I wanted to spend for a few personal skis. Iggyskier recently posted a very nice looking custom topsheet. He lists who he...

First off burny, great looking skis. What veneer did you use for your top sheet? Are you happy with the durability of the finish? I am intrigued by you photo’s of sections through the two Volkl skis, specifically the area above the edges. The core appears to be routed significantly higher than the e...

I had the same problem and only noticed it after holding up my cut out hardboard template and thinking that doesn’t look like 191cm. I ended up using the template as a ski for my Dad. I found my problem to be when printing (I assume you saved as a PDF). It appears that Sno-Cad is plotting to the act...

Bamboo should be treated just like any other core material. You will still need to use fiberglass to retain the skis shape (camber tip and tail ect.). I am going to use bamboo as it appears to be better option for a wooden side wall. There is a good video showing Kingswood laying up some skis with a...
