Goz, how does asymmetrical heating affect the tip/tail shapes in comparison with the mould?
I can picture the tips dropping in height as the camber rises, but does it affect any radius/angles in the tips?

Apsen is pretty close to Poplar, which is a popular choice for ski/snowboard cores. If I were you, I'd start there. Ash makes a good stringer, and is also good under the inserts. Here's some information that will be useful: http://www.skibuilders.com/howto/skicon/woodcore.shtml http://skibuilders.co...

SHIF, Thanks for posting that hardwood source for all to view. The IPE I purchased ran $7.17 per linear foot. If ripped carefully, the 15 foot board is enough sidewall/pseudo-tipspacer material for 13 snowboards (mileage may vary). Running the numbers: that's less than $9 per snowboard, making the c...

...ski sidewalls make contact with the snow and assist in glide. ... Most of the boards I've owned over the past 15 years had sintered sidewalls and I had a habit of treating them as a base (never had them stone ground, though). Did waxing the sidewalls help? I can't be sure, but when 6 (boardercro...

I intended on using Black Locust for sidewalls, and if there's one thing I learned, it's that Black Locust is very difficult to locate in northern North America. A logging service informed me that they had Honey Locust available, but as it's softer and much less water resistant, IPE was chosen inste...
