Ski Builders Forum

I'm working on skis where green sidewalls would look great with the graphics, but I'm not having any luck finding green material. Crown listed some on their remnant site, but when I called it turned out that it was all gone....Any suggestions as to where else I could look? Or, does anyone have a little they'd be willing to sell?

Thanks,

I've got 3 strips that are cut all f'd up. Would be enough for a snowboard, but you'd be one short for a pair of skis.

My bandsaw blade was toast but I was impatient so I tried cutting strips from a giant slab I had. The height varies from like 1/2" to an inch. They just need to be cut a little straighter, or planed flat after gluing to the core.

If 3 is enough for you, let me know, you'd just have to pay shipping is all. (they are bright almost flourescent green, very pretty)

Is the green you have 1/2" wide? and what're the lengths? Also, do you happen to know what the Pantone color is? I know of someone else who has some, but again not quite enough, and I'm not sure if it's the same green.

Thanks,

Yes I believe it is 1/2" thick, and 70" long (but I will measure it tonight after work to make sure).

No idea on the pantone color, I bought it from Sherpa Burns on here last April (a year ago!), so he might know the answer to that.

I don't know the Pantone either. I had a bunch of this, but I am all out. I have 3 leftover strips of a forest green that are about 1/2" wide if that helps. I think I have some purple left too. It's kind of a Plum Crazy type color that is really cool looking. I'd have to double check, but I bet it is at least 5" wide. I was using this purple with a light Avodire veneer that came out mindblowingly beautiful.
