First Paipo Commission Finished
Just finished this recycled redwood and balsa paipo for a former archivist at the Surfing Heritage Foundation.
The black marks on the redwood are iron stains from old fasteners.
47" X 18" X < ¾"

Gorgeous.
Is it designed to be ridden or a show-piece?

Rod,
Becki took a job (for much better pay) as an executive assistant in Mission Viejo. She says she will still volunteer at SHF on occasion.
Jack,
All the boards I make are RIDERS!
Wall hangers are for hodads, has-beens and wannabes...........
