It's the one from Homeblown- MDI and 40% vegetable "polyols" (?).   I read about it in the Drift Magazine that featured Greg Griffin.

thinking about ordering some biofoam blanks from pauhana before the shipping deal to Hawaii goes away. Kind of interested in Richard Landingham's foam as well.. It would be nice to be able to get these  blanks without the center stringers though.

I think just using the biofoam with this bamboo fiberglass we have from Greenlight should be the way to go especially since the biofoam is off white anyway and the bamboo glass is semi opaque..
Be neat to get the biofoam with some custom single 1/8" bamboo perimeter stringers from Greenlight and glass it with the bamboo glass and use our homemade bamboo glass on fins..

The bamboo glass ends up heavy (60z or more in weight) and blurs the wood underneath which is why I wouldn't waste time wood skinning the biofoam since it'll just look milky and end up heavy like the one we just finished.

Jeff Bushman is doing his boards here now in Biofoam and hemp cloth.

Sounds like a good system, Bernie.  I'm working out how to get one of those Sugar-based blanks from Ice-9 to try out too, but getting something from San Diego up to here is proving almost as hard as getting something to your Islands     

I'm trying to talk a buddy of mine into ordering one of the kits from the Grain (or is it ex-Grain) guy - for $400 or so for a basic fish, its not a bad deal, really.

See ya
