Dennis and Dan have been busy on their next project, a scrap Balsa (waste from a few long boards) and 100 year old reclaimed redwood 5'10" Quad Fish. The board is chambered out and is set to weigh in at 10 pounds glassed. That is most likely the weight of a glossed and polished foam 6' fish. The redwood used is from a recycled water tower on his property. The wood is surprising light on it's own because of the age but once chambered it is exceptionally light.

Here are a couple photos of the project. Give Murphy a call if you want your own.
