My Grain Surfboards "Waterlog" 10' surfboard is almost ready for fiberglassing.  I've been working on a number of final details before glassing though.  Shaping was harder than I thought it would be. I mostly used my block plane and it took a long time. I never perfectly matched the rail templates that Grain Surfboards supplies but I think I'm close enough for my first surfboard.    Overall I think the shape looks good, and I don't think I got anywhere near taking too much off. To better match the templates I should have kept going.  The nose and tail also look good but don't perfectly match the templates either. Oh well. It'll float.  I cut the tail off and added a laminated block of Peruvian walnut (to match the pinstripes) and white cedar from one of the cutoffs. I didn't want to put in too many colors like some people do and end up with a rainbow of colors. This is pretty classy and not tooooo busy I hope.   Here's the final look after shap...
