Solid maple core for rocker ski.

[hegan]

I've done solid poplar.

I also recycled some old cedar deck boards and used them for skis.

The cedar skis looked awesome and were super light, but they shifted off the tip mold (flat tails) and didn't have enough tip to be safe skiing (yes, of course I tried). So I can't really tell you how they skied.

Thinking about using clear cedar for my next cores, I'm not going to be laminating the cores just going to be using the solid wood due to it having straight gains and no knots. Has anyone else tried this?

I did it with ash. Came out fine.

Ok, just two questions how did it handle being profiled? How does it hold a screw? Thanks!
