WOOD IS GOOD

 Bill Cilia, a mate of mine and surfboard builder (nirvana surfboards )
 has been restoring a balsa pig.
   The photos show Bill and the board through various stages of the restoration.

Unfortunately it is a no name, but the blank glue up and construction
was done by someone with a fair bit of skill for the time.

The timber fin was left intact, cleaned up and re glassed.

The board is 9ft long by 20 inches wide.

Viva the pig.
