How did you do the "divide" logo in the veneer?
By hand?

Cnc. No drag knife. Just a endmill bit. Inside/outside tool path on the different 2 different veneers and swapped out the letters. Far from perfect. I tried cutting by hand. HARD to do. I have mad respect for the guys on here cutting the patters by hand. Vinmans topsheets blow my mind. True art.

Whats the specs of that shop deck? Looms awesome... Love the shape, looks alot like our new shapes

Dtrain · Post by **Dtrain** » Mon Apr 22, 2013 2:19 pm

158cm.29.7-25.5-29.7. Bamboo core 2-7-2. 21oz basalt.some carbon.
early rise tip/tail were 33cm long and 6.5 cm high at ends. flat between inserts.

I really like the early rise with no defined point were the rise ends and the tips start. just a smooth arc all the way through. super playfull, butters like crazy, rips the pow, carves hard.

Lacks a bit of pop. but thats just the physics of these type of tips and cambers. its expected.

great work!!

how do you guys finish the PU-sidewalls? router? belt sander?

Dtrain · Post by **Dtrain** » Mon Apr 22, 2013 10:10 pm

Jigsaw, then a handheld edge sharpener ski tool to clean the edge off, then a 90 degree with router, then the router bevel, finish with a light hand sand.

Hi everyone

Two weeks ago I've tried the above for kite board rails with a bamboo core. This is the result:

I did sand the rails, no other prep.

The resin was in a vac for like 5mins, PU pigment added, no probs with pouring and cured on a room temp.

I think the test I did before laminating the rest was good. I hate to think how would this delaminate after...

What do you recon?

From what I see in the video your stuff is perfect. This stuff bonds to the wood, but you can still pull it off/out with minimal force. You may of had a bad join at the 2 colors, but nothing else I see. I've used the bamboo and this product. Never had a delam yet! After pressing, the shits in in there. Press that sucker.

You should do some light sanding and cleaning of the channel before pouring next time
