Mitch's Birthday Present-Custom Surfboard by John Cherry

Here are some pictures of the custom Balsa/Redwood surfboard Mitch received for his birthday a few days ago-


11' foot glider shaped by local customer and friend John Cherry.




All the wood came from our shop including the redwood used to construct the stringers.



One of the many highlights include the amazing redwood burl nose and tail blocks.

Check out the neat resin leash loop in the top picture!




What good is a balsa surfboard without matching custom wood fins?

Look at this beautiful setup-



Old growth, tight grained redwood for the center fin and curly maple/curly redwood for the side fins!



Here is Mitch with his new board on its maiden voyage back on his birthday.
