Just on a couple. Plans are for a 6'fter or two, couple of 5ft'ers, rest probably 4ft'ers.
Man I can't wait to get down there and surf and hang out in the new digs. Going to look rad bro'.

Spoiled! That's what you are!
Kiln dried... straight as an arrow...
I see blank canvas... get to work!
Surfed Tuesday! Shoulder high and a bit choppy... but enough to drive the line and get the glide!
Hope you FL guys get some soon!

Does white pine carve as smooth as palm does?

Yeah Dogg! I imagine half of those are already carved, aye? Man, they look nice. I can't wait to see pics of the products.
I see you have a mini-trike in there? Wanna race...my mini against yours? Maybe run for pinks?

Lake, spoiled is right! You know it bro. Debarked, turned and kiln dried. Nothing but love from North Florida. Go get'em. Glad you caught some Lake juice. Water temps up there now?
Carves like butta Poly. You ought to try it out.
Gman have not touched'em yet. Just got'em yesterday. Dang, you trying to rush me! I'm sure they'll keep me busy for a while;) Yeah right. Guess you didn't see the chopper in front of the trike in the pics. It has a wheelie bar on the back. I can do a wheelie as far as I like as long I do not bust my ass, which is easy to do on that one.
PEACE!

I need some-a-that! I got more lasting injuries from debarking, than a lifetime of surfing. Go carve a log, then carve a wave!

G, so glad that the new wood is working out well for you. Have you had any problems with it checking bad. I am getting debarked , dried and turned stuff also and have had a few split really bad on me. Any tips on storing it. I have mine outside under a tarp. Look forward to seeing what comes next from the dynamic carving duo.
