Camber:
The camber on these skis was MUCH better than my first time around. I have to thank those that mentioned using a planed-profile for the camber, rather than the shim method of the last pair. The small black dots seen in the camber picture are old nail-holes from when the core was a board on my summer deck.

I named the skis after the veneer type (Makore). It's the quilted variation from certainly wood. http://www.certainlywood.com/detail.cfm?ID=2865 . I didn't have to stain or add any color, and definitely worth the price.
