Ok, just wanted to say thanks to the people that answered my questions, and thanks for the guide.

I put up some pictures of what I have gotten so far. I still need to put the coats of urethane on it and grip the top. Where is the best place to get grip tape that is large enough? The last board I made I used skateboard grip but it wasn't long enough.

Your white yoda reminded me of a white ink tattoo I've seen...

hey guys im almost to the point of the final sealing of my board.. and im wondering what you guys have used to seal your board.. i know the original poster said vynlester epoxy spray.. but i cant find that.. i can find epoxy fillers and fiberglass resins.. just wondering about anything else.. do you think a spar urethane spray would work?? i want the lightest material i can find and ive worked quite a bit with fiberglass resin and it always ends up heavy.. thanks in advance..

mine is 3 sheets of 1/8 inch oak.. one thing i would do differently.. use epoxy instead of fiberglass resin to glue the plys together.. should be much stronger.. hint: when u add the stairs running down the sides for the concave it will make the board considerably stronger.. and when sanding.. take your time.. prepare to take 6 hrs sanding.. good luck its a ton of fun and you learn alot..
