What do you think?

Post by rockaukum »

I am wondering about the next ski. I have a set of cores that were profiled on the new jig.

I worked them down to 2-10-2.5. My concern is that the ski might be a little soft torsionally speaking. I am not sure if I should use some carbon stringers or if there is some other option I should be looking at? The idea is for this ski to be used BC, so looking for reduced weight. Being a BC ski, I may not need be concerned with the torsional stifness.
Another qusetion is regaurding layup and pressing without the use of a top sheet. I will be using a cloth graphic and then glass over that. So far the layup would be:
Base
triax
core (ash-poplar-ash-ash-poplar-ash)
bi-ax
cloth graphic
glass
Any suggestions out there?
Thanks for the input.
