This was the time when I realised that all my boards for some time to come were going to have some element of experimentation involved in either their construction or aesthetic and often both.
After the success of my wooden biscuit I wanted to push the boundaries of the construction method and felt confident in attempting my first shape design. I kept hearing about the weight of the biscuit so I wanted to see just how light I could go. The construction method was the same as board one with the exception of the thickness of the deck and hull. I went THIN.
Board no.2 was pushed to its limits and subsequently damaged beyond repair. Some valuable lessons were learned and it was during the chambering of no.2 that I became worried about the final product/waste ratio. Too much sawdust, not enough board...
