Roger Hall from Surfline Surfboards in New Zealand loves wood and loves a challenge.
He spent a whole day at a timber yard selecting the right sticks for this project , matching colour and weight for this solid wall hanger board.
Cleaning it up with the hand plane to get it ready to setup on the APS3000 shaping machine.
A sharp cutting head , plenty of time and you can save a weeks worth of work using the right gear.Roger has hand shaped many wooden boards and done the hard yards , hand sanding and finishing . So this is just the smart way to get the job done without wrecking yourself and saving an enormous amount of time when you are a small operator.
Plenty of cuts and the finish is pretty well smooth as a babies bum. Saves days of hand sanding.
And there you have it a 1930's 10ft Hot Curl finless board ready for oiling. That will make the colour come out. Roger isn't the biggest guy , but it looks like she carries a little weight.

the camera gear is a digital canon g10 using a 15th of a sec with fill flash, the bottom image was taken with a canon EOS 1 film camera body with a 28-70mm, using 100 fuji sensia slide film and x processing and YES the board is unbelievable !, micro from fish n log
