This is a documentary on the history of Riley Balsawood Surfboards. It also explains how to make a solid balsawood longboard. Enjoy and leave your comments!
You would love the book "Spanish for the Construction Trade". It comes with Cd's which I always love because your accent improves. I use them traveling. It has a whole section on woodwork.
I'm not entirely convinced by the environmental message here, he's using polyurethane resin not epoxy, which most certainly doesn't break down quickly in landfill, and there's no mention of using sustainable and responsible balsa farms. I also would not be surprised if the energy expenditure per board was even higher for these than foam boards due to the vastly greater machining time.
