MINI SIMMONS UPDATE

Finished and ready to go surfing.

OVER THE HUMP

 You know spring is not far off around these parts when

the Australian Cedar next door starts shooting.

The timber cutters from years past 

use to spot the sort after Australian Cedar in the spring

by looking for the bright red leafs 

emerging from this deciduous tree.

The resident Magpie pair are now lining their nest

with the hair from my recent haircut.

And this bloke.

The good old Australian Brush Turkey.

Building a brand new nest

for his lady friends to lay their eggs in.

He has been at it, scraping leaf mulch from all around

up onto his nest for a couple of weeks now. 

DILLON UPDATE

Freshly glossed.

An effort has been made

to keep as much of the original 

and pre restoration  finish as possible.

 There are areas that have been repaired in the past

and not re pigmented.

Some of these areas have been repaired where needed

and not re pigmented.

There are dents and scratches

 that have been left as original.

This board is not going to be polished.

SHANE A NEW ADDITION TO THE FAMILY

Introducing Shane.

Weighs in at 5'7"

He's a little twisted.

He has a few warts on his bottom.

But we love him.

He's a bit chubby around the middle,

but that is pretty standard.

MINI SIMMONS PROJECT UPDATE

Lesley has finished shaping the mini Simmons.

The groove is where the original snap was rejoined.

Lesley ground it out for the shaping.

It will be filled prior to glassing.

 her mini Simmons.
