"The best advice I can give you is to get in touch with Jack Young (I have
cc'd him in on this email). He has produced a really excellent book on
making a hollow wood surfboard and I would seriously recommend that
you buy it if you're going to proceed with your project. At $29.99 it is
worth every penny - it has step by step instructions and he'll email it to
you so you get it straight away." Patrick Burnett
