It is just a standard smooth backed veneer, with a combination of 2 - 2 part automotive polys in a 6 to 8 coat finish. If you get ridden up on inline, it's deep enough that you can just polish it out...with the guys face (haha). I have some Paulownia that actually has a metal layer under the veneer I'm going to try next, I like that concept a lot. I've tried a couple of water based polys that are hard as hell, but they don't finish as bright and the fast dry times/pot life have made the gun cleanup a real PITA.

Been awhile since I've posted here...been building IOTS (items other than snowboards). 7mm underfoot 6.5mm center out to 1.2mm tips, red birch and poplar core. 8oz biaxial carbon fiber top with 19oz triaxial for the base. I used entropy systems CPS on this, 1 hour at 180f at 85lbs pressure, UHMW sidewalls and Electra 2000 high carbon racing base. The topsheet is cherry, sapele, maple and walnut inlays, final weight was 7lb 2oz. Pretty stoked, the fit was really great and the flex is exactly what I wanted. Going into production on this, cut files are done, drawings are done, tooling is made...there will be a couple of changes in the inlay graphic, nothing major. A heartfelt thanks to the builders on this board, I could never have done this without the support, info and inspiration here on SB. Thank you!

So, I still have to rub this out. Then I have to wet sand and polish the snowboard . I got some bubbles from somewhere, not sure wtf...I have no idea. I figured it out, total pieces with topsheet =116. Seems like way too many...
162cm 7.8 underfoot to 2.3 tip and tail. 8oz carbon fiber with 12oz unidirectional over the tip and tail damping systems, with a nod to Huck for the backseat powder inserts. Did 'em. Thanks. Easy. Haven't base ground yet, weight at this point is 6lb3oz, I expect it to be <6lb when finished.
