Balsa wood surfboard frame

I use wax paper as my release surface from my rocker table, As I build the surfboard up. There are other ways of doing this.But my pocket book holds me back.

 I also use duct tape to hold the wax paper to the underside of the table, this way the paper remains tight and secure. And if you don't have to much runoff after you glass your joints, layers or however your building your wood surfboard, you wont rip the paper while you remove your surfboard frame.

  All building aspects of wood surfboard construction take time, planning, money, and some space to work.

If you do not have the tools right off hand or any boat or ship right experiences building, there is going to be a huge learning curve ahead of you.With a couple surfboards under my belt  now, with failed and completed boards, I really do like working with the balsa wood for the first time this stuff is just so great. 

Three strips of wax paper run the table,  just in case a spill.
I don't want to glue my board to the table.
Three strips works best with this width.

I use some old sockets wrapped with wax paper
to hold some of the thin wood in place

cloths pin seem to work great in this application.

      After the small thin pieces of wood are all in place as the skeleton of the surfboard.

I then begin to build the surfboard skeleton up in thickness. This is detail time, make sure everything is square and true. You need the frame of the surfboard to be extremely perfect, for a epic outcome.
