VERY NICE. Symmetrical and the clear over the veneer looks surprisingly good.

Yep, I just double checked and I used the ski builders Ptex almost clear. I will press with the crown this week and put them side by side for comparison.

I had no clue what rocker and camber to use so I guessed at 5mm for each. Since the curve is pretty small in length the camber/rocker held pretty well. Based on the appearance it will work great. We should have a ski area open next week to try it out. I designed the whole board in google sketchup.

Interested to hear how the profile works out. From what I have seen on libs the rocker profile is typically bigger than the camber profile. More like 6mm for the rocker and 3mm for the camber, which leaves the tips 3mm higher, whereas your design has them on the same plane. Have no idea how this will effect anything. I kind of think this board will have some great edge hold.

I noticed the same thing this morning when I was trying to decide what board to build next. The ski areas opened today so I am going to test this one out this week. I think I will try to make another board this week with the tip/tail higher for comparison. In addition, I may attempt to serate the edges under the bindings. This shit is fun!
