Nice work, I really like the base graphics. How did you do them? Was it painted on or die cut in?

Is the top graphics on cotton? or graphics on topsheet?

I used acryle paint on a water basis. The schedule on topsheet))) we with the wife two days drew) the cotton used for a background. It was necessary to use black resin. A ski would turn out more easy :|

Great pics! Nevermind if you have photos from the woodcore, did you laminated the core by yourself or did you purchoased a quality plywood and used it as core like 333 skis?

I agree on the awesome pics.

jiri23 this guy obviously isn't an idiot so he didn't use plywood from the local hardware store.

Why do you say that? I used a 7ply baltic birch on my skis and I don't feel I'm an idiot. ;)

Hi Doughboyshredder! I didnt wanted to upset you! :D I totally understand that you dont like that man. Also I want you to know that nobody spoke here about an ordinary plywood from local hardware store. What I am heading for is B/BB quality birch ply and I do have had some difficulities to find supplier that could provide it to me in my area. I also considered to press my own horizontal core - but unfortunatelly i didnt found an supplier for vaneer that cheap and I do have some construction questions like shlould I use crosssections? If so - how many? Is it an issue if I use for the crossection more then one piece of vaneer? If pressed - would it be a good idea to press in one time with rainforcements and base?

horizontal lamination has been relatively unexplored in the ski/snowboard realm.

My biggest issue with it, is what do you lose when you profile it? should it be profiled at all? I have not seen it done in what I would consider a professional manner yet. I know Hammer snowboards does or has done it but who knows how or what they're using, etc.

Plywood glued itself. Initially the idea very much liked - with each new layer rigidity will raise. It and so was can? But in practice not so it was pleasant to me. In a result I have broken this ski after good falling on socks. The core has broken very strange - directly under a bolt of the head bindings :? . many speak me that anyone a ski would break. But nevertheless it seems to me that it is the reason plywood woodcore.
The idea with plywood is very good (to make easily - to process one pleasure), but is not so strong. Too soft core in comparison with a usual vertical laminate at the same thickness.

On me - so I shall not make more.
(if only in snowboards)

Well that at me it is a lot of ski)))))))))))

P.S. Has overlooked to tell that the press the form at me is adjusted on length in an average part of the form.
