looks good, i like the darker wood touch on the sides, i am interested , is that wood thicker than the balsa? wrt shaping you know.
is that time including fin reinforcement and glassing? i cant really tell from the pics.

keep us posted on your progress
Cheers

[paul cannon]

no its not glassed yet mate
woodis same thickness

[paul cannon]

update now sanded
ready forplugs and gloss

[paul cannon]

more
might have to redo the polish
i couldnt get the the gloss coat flat enough
think i need a better brush
might have to start at a lower grit and get it flatter
or maybe just leave it for next board

[hunty]

that looks really nice paul, just curious if thats a poly gloss coat over poly fill.

[wouter]

yeah hunty its poly fill and polly gloss over kinetics
not sure if in completely sold on it
but i guess its valid
its certainly shit loads easier to sand
shit i need a few glassing lessons from a pro

photos always look nice, so what is your concern? that you see dimples in the sanding room?
Paul i am a cookand i have learned that when you want to sand it right, you need a superstiff(hard) pad. it helps a lot! beside my trusty festool i also use a square flat machine to sand, not the discs. it helps getting it real flat, once you have got it flat, add gloss coat and use the disc grinder at variable rpm. only my experience! not real advice!
thanks for sharing.
