Board one "Wooden Bicbic"

5'7 11/16" x 20 7/8" x 3 1/16". Heavily chambered paulownia, thruster setup, epoxy coat, no glass.

Man I hit this project hard! After seeing Paul Joske's board in that mag I was like a man posessed, searching out and eating up any and all information I could find not only on the subject of wooden boards and the various methods of construction but traditional board construction and design too.

I decided that if I was going to spent 40 hours building this thing then I would choose a board I knew I liked to ride so I went with my trusty Al Merrick Biscuit...

Board still goes great and has carried me through some great sessions!
