Wooden mini progress and other surfboards!

 Coming along on this. Didn't get much done this past week except gluing in the two side planks again.

 I also glued in extra small strips along the top side of the spine and ribs to provide more gluing surface, but not much weight.

 Here I am fitting in the center strip and dry-fitting it first. I got this glued in right after this picture.

And in other news, last night my brother and I glassed the bottom of his board (right), and Neal and I glassed his board today (left). Mike is super pumped, Neal is super pumped, and I am super pumped. Always fun to glass boards, especialy when they come out nice and neat. For Mike's board, we mixed up the blue resin and black resin, then spread out each blue line, then came back, and filled in the gaps with the black resin. It came out much cleaner than expected! For Neal's board, he had this fabric he liked, so we layed that down as a strip across the front third area, as seen. It came out awesome too! pumped!
