That veneer is incredible, it looks like flames!

How did you do the black edging? That looks really clean that way.

Holy $h!t!! That is beautiful! Now give us the details please! What veneers did you used? One looks like birds eye maple but have rarely seen that much figure, which goes for big bucks.

What is the black edging and how did you do that?

You really knock it out of the park!

I just got hammered with a $120.00 shipping charge to get the board to Hawaii. But You guys made my day. Thanks to Twizz for getting the pics up. Pm me how to do that! The wood is "Waterfall quilted bubinga kevazinga" And some european birch I forget the name. The top has 2 coats Fiberglass Hawaii 'aluzine" 2 to 1 uv epoxy. The rails are Rust-oleum gloss enamel and that is all under 5 coats of Minwax fast drying polyurethane. Wet sanded and machine buffed. I'll try to find some interesting pics from the build & post.

Thanks. UUMMMM I got a new High end shock and parts to build a new rear wheel for my bike. I figure I got "some" compensation for my building education. My friend is caring for a trail I built on Maui so that's Priceless.

Yes vac to get the capped rails, pressed to mash it into the form better.
