BALSA




9' x 16 1/2 x 21 1/2 x 15 1/2 x 3 1/4
I built this solid balsa board for Mike C a few months ago.
A lot of work goes into building a board like this.
Most shapers these days buy  the wood already glued up, 
have it cut on a computer shaping machine and just fine sand it.
I prefer to cut the rocker in to it, glue it up and hand shape them myself.
It just seems like that is the way they should be built. 
And yes, it is very heavy.

Hey Dano,

Is it your first balsa board? That board is very pretty, almost shouldn't be waxed. j virata
