Continuing on with the marathon chambered build.. up to about 6 months now I suppose.
I've never built a board like this and I must say it was a refreshing change to be shaping freely without fear of shaping into fresh air - a different experience altogether from hollow or foam-core construction.
Ive used sacrificial MDF spacers in this build. These will be replaced by a 3mm cedar stringer glued to the face of each chambered section.
The transverse grain makes these sections kinda fragile, especially those tapered ends so all movements are in slo-mo.
This cedar is also a bit fragile so I laminated with epoxy and some 4oz fabric..
..and traced my sections with a bit of overhang.
Then I cut them out and epoxied each one to its mate.
All the bits
Bit by bit
One each arvo.
Nearly finished.
For everything you need to build your own wooden board
