GORDON WOODS EGG

I recently aquired this little beauty.

It's 7' 6"
As you can see the bottom is in pretty bad shape.
With a pretty bad gash on the deck.

This is going to take some time.
But I will up date when ever work gets done.
The plan is to rebuild the bottom.
Layup and set a new fin.
 Pigment coat to the cutlap line and pinline.
Leave the deck and rails original.
Not sure about that gash on the deck.

SURF SYDNEY AN EXHIBITION

It must be a couple of years ago now.
 I was contacted by Gary Crockett who is curator
with the Historic Houses Trust of NSW.
He was puting together an exhibition on surfing
in the 50's 60's and 70's.
I had thought from time to time how it was coming along.
Then the other day I stumbled across his blog.
Here is a link to his blog.

GLASSING 101


I've been helping a friends son glass his first board.
I must have been explaining somthing.
I seem to have their attention.


Lapping the bottom lam.
I was so involved
I fogot to take photos until we were doing the laps.


Day two. Deck lam.
Got some earlier shots.


Starting the deck lam.


Wetting out.


Filler coating.
UV resin.
It gives one the time, to take time.
