So, cores are milled
In the making:
Tip spacer:
Hardpoint for the binding:
There will be an additional layer of fiberglass in the pocket between hard wood and balsa.
Weight of the core with hardpoints is 530g for 150/124/132 x 1890mm. 580 with tip and tail spacers. How much does one of your cores weight?
Cheers, Reto

My current set of cores weigh in at 3330g total with ash stringers and ipe wood sidewalls un-shaped. This set of cores are way heavier than normal.SleepingAwake wrote:So, cores are milled

I like your idea of cutting out a piece for the hardwood insert. Nice touch.

Are you referring to the sidewalls? they are made of European beech. works well so far and was used by others before.

Yes, painted the sidewall. I used acrylic paint where I added quite a bit of water. Then I painted everything and whipped it of after a few minutes with a paper towel. So it's blue but the wood grain is still visible.
I like the looks, but I have to say its not very durable. There are already some lighter spots on the sidewall... The wood itself looks still good though!
