odd that there doesn't seem to be any taper to the ski...

looks like he made one foam core ski first? then made them out of wood?
link fail. (you have no links)

His mold making skills need work. Had some bad orange peel when doing his gel coat, thats from not doing release agents right.

I don't see why an upturned edge would make a noticeable difference in pow rather than a flat base. Its a dps 138 or a spat or a praxis, same deal just even worse on any hard snow. That doesn't mean I wouldn't try them. I absolutely love the pow shmear, slarve feeling. I fiend for it worse than any other skiing feeling I have ever felt.
I can't watch the vid in part 3 WTF?

I want to see the finished base how could you take all those pics and not see the convexity of the base. Isn't that the most important part??
I see whatever mold failed but no base shots where you can see perspective.
