hey everyone, thanks to this great forum I´ve had my mind set on building my own skis since I discovered skibuilders. you guys have given me sooo many ideas and infos that after many happy sleepless nights I´m finally getting somewhere. as I like burly skis and I had the chance to get some free stee...

I´m also going to use vertically laminated bamboo, my core is gona be 13mm but i won´t have the ski finished before oct. so I can´t help you until then. but if somebody else would share their experience i´d also be interested.
