OAC Skis 2014/2015
Moderators: Head Monkey, kelvin, bigKam, skidesmond, chrismp
Thanks! I'm impressed myself. I knew the result was going to be ok, but this is almost unreal! The surface and colours are crisp clear! It doesn't really show in the picture.
One of the best thing with this ski building project is that I have learned to been very patient and precise. Working my way thru the details. Not my strongest card before.
My process is pretty trimmed now. Given that I have made the woodcores prior to the pressing. It only takes a day to make a pair of skis(if I start in the morning...). :-)

If the cork looks like the kind you'd find on a bulletin board then it's not end grain.
Now that I think about it, cork is from the bark of the cork tree. Not sure how the end grain is formed. Maybe there's no such thing as end grain cork but recall someone using "end grain cork" in the core of a snowboard.

I've used it in the last 6 pair. I ran out of ABS and got the idea to test cork. As I wrote before , easy to work with and together with epoxy and fiberglass it feels like an ok distance material.
Swing weight? This is skis not golf clubs..
I know what what you mean, maybe MOI is better to use? I don't have a robust answer since I haven't skied them myself yet, but I have customers that have used them this season and they haven't complained or report any issues.
