Jacob's Newest Canvas

Jacob is going to get all artsy on his new Avocado. I can't wait to see what he will do, here is a shot of the blank canvas 6' x 20 1/4 x 2 5/8. Jake

Dust Control

I rigged this dust collection system up the other day, it makes a big difference in the amount of foam dust that gets in my eyes. I am a happy shaper, Jake

10 ft.r, More Redwood and a Fresh Avocado

I got to work on Steve's new 10' S-Deck BOSS style long board (deck pictures to come soon) with 1/2 inch redwood stringer. I got the stringer from a friend of mine, Matt Yager that I used to help mill wood and work on his property. He has a lot of old growth redwood stock piled and his company is all set up to sell and ship it to those that need some good lumber. Matt asked me to take some pictures of the board and stringer for his website that will be featuring a custom stringer material section. If your interested check out his website www.sequoiavista.com and send him an email for more info. As you can see the wood he has is beautiful stuff.

I also cut out Jacob's new Avocado model, this one is 6'0"x 201/4" x 2 5/8"

6' Redwood Deck Simster

This is the board that didn't make it to the art show. It is inspired by the board that Richard Kenvin is designing that he calls the simster. The jet tail is inspired by the work of Daniel Thompson and I made a set of twinzer fins for it. White resin tint bottom, 1/8 inch salvaged old growth redwood deck and hand made salvaged old growth redwood fins. This board is really special and is currently curing, unridden and on display in our house. Low nose rocker, very little tail rocker, single concave entry to vee out the tail 6' x 20" x 3"  with an 18" nose this board should be fast and floaty. Let me know if anyone is interested. Jake

Base Price: $550
Price as shown: $999

This one's for Les, you can see the house is still standing, thanks. Jake

Justin Got his Fish

We finally got Justin's fish down to him in Venice beach. We kept waiting for a time when we could meet up and get a surf together but the time came when we had a ride for the board heading south and we jumped on it. Justin was stoked and couldn't wait to get the board in the water. This one is  6'10" x 22 1/2" x 3". Jake

The Showing of Art North Coast Style

The bookstore was rocking last night with people, music and of course, art. Derek from Fotomendo  (the proud owner of the 10'6" Picker) swung by to see the board and take some pictures. Check out his tale from the night here and be sure to look at everything else that is going on at Fotomendo as well. The board in the pictures is
5'1" x 20 1/4 x 2 1/4 and has salvaged redwood fins. I used a block of resin from the bucket we pour excess resin into and a resin art piece as a display. Leslie (Fatty) has a lot of resin tints into those to pieces, beautiful colors, shes the master. The board with the old growth redwood deck didn't make it to the open because it wasn't quite finished in time. It will be finished in the next day or so and I will get pictures of it and more of  the 5'1'' up soon. Thanks to everyone who stopped by last night. Jake
