model H

this crazy little beast got glassed today - im hoping she pushes less water and gives me more speed on the steeper waves.

handplane

just finished a double hander for the camera to be attached

my dad

...is a craftsman, and puts my woodworking to shame...
he's made a handplane - this is it...

spruce and oak, concaves, resined - it looks super fun - the next production is mine! - very excited to surf a craft shaped by dad.

handplanes

ive been making and having some fun with handplanes recently (affectionately termed the "cheeseboard") these little pieces of paulownia have had me scooting along little closeouts at 13th - with much merriment.
Picture to follow of my creations....
