latest board #3

[ryan]

I just finished painting this 36"x9" beast.
It's laminated with a nose kick and concave with blatic birch and walnut.
I haven't cleared it yet, but once I do, the walnut will look way nicer.
I made this thing as a nice all around board.
Tell me what you think.
This one will be up for sale after I clear it, so if anyone is interested, shoot me a PM.

Thanks for the complement.
The board pressed for 12 hours,
I cut and shaped it for 2 hours,
and then it took 2 hours to paint.
It usually takes longer to paint, but these paint pens dry so quickly, and i can finish the boards fast

Fantastic job yet again!

I need to add a ryan original to my quiver.

Awesome board. I like the flaming tiki and the bends all look great. Only problem you might have is getting people to believe that you made it and didn't buy it. Wish I could get mine to come out so finished looking. My problem is I wanna ride it as soon as it's out of the press.

thats why you do , and if it breaks in the time then all those hours you would have spent finishing it will not happen

so you used a press? or vacuum bag?

[bpz]

You hand shape your foam molds? I have a vacuum bag sitting around doing nothing... I need to get to Home Depot and get some insulating foam this weekend, no wood yet and the spot I usually get my baltic birch from is closed until March which, I guess means I have some time to make some molds. How hard is it to put shapes like that into the foam? I'm reluctant to dive right in...

ya, I use a vac bag, and hand shape my molds.
I started off using .5" foam cuz that's all home depot had.
I use 2" thick foam for this press and it worked so much better.

i have a question are you doing female and male molds or just one side ?
And are you still using 1/8" Blatic Birch or are you getting it thinner ?

So if I were to send you my surf stick deck to paint up with something sweet like that and to refinish the bottom. How much are we looking at not includding shipping?

I'm doing one sided molds, not sure about the whole m or f thing.
and I am using 1/8th birch, I can't find any thinner.

OMG!

Great job Ryan. You keep up work like that and there is no way I'll ever be able to do a finish/graphics contest cause you'll scare then all away with your skills. amazing. Some board company is gonna snatch you up to do graphics for them if you keep this up.
