HWS Build Part 5

Ok so massive gluing failure on the top skin has been solved!  Reclamped everything and used epoxy glue instead of wood glue. This stuff set up right away and held like it had been welded!

Skip ahead now...So as not to get too boring....Used one of my existing 9'6" longboard templates to layout the outline one the bottom skin.  Used a sabre saw (jig saw) to cut out the outline to within 1/4" of the line. Then I put the board on my normal shaping stands and used my 3" belt sander held at 90 degrees to "true up" the outline.  This is what it looks like now:

Next step is to get some material built up on the rails. I have selected more paulownia and some cherry for this. Coming soon!
