"Tree to Sea" How-to DVD Update
I'm pretty active on some of the better known Surfboard design forums, sharing ideas and insights with the surfboard building community (and it's surprisingly vast). It occured to us that a video DVD would be a great way to broadcast GSB methods and techniques. I have a fully equipped production company, so why not? We'll be keeping the camera in the shop to record the process of the next few boards in detail (including tips, tricks and trade secrets).
Example Chapters will cover:
* Board design and selection
* Techniques for reverse engineering (acquiring key dimensions from an existing board)
* Employing Computer Aided Design
* Tools, safety, and supplies
* Wood Types/qualities and Lumber Selection
* Construction (Keel/Rocker, Frames, Re-sawing/Gluing Planks, Railing out)
* Shaping
* Glassing
This is just the start. We're working on CNC routered kits too.
If this interests you, or you have any suggestions, please let us know. Send an email to grainsurf@omniscopic.com to reserve your copy.
Also keep checking back. We'll be posting sample clips as they become ready.

awesome idea. i'd definitely be interested in that video if you made it. i've made a couple foam boards but with no clark there is no foam. plus your boards look amazing.
Dudes, this is genius, obvious and people should be able to video podcast this thing one day soon. Audio and video should accompany the written plans/ kit you begin to market. I am sure there would be a market for that.
Oye I would be interested in building boards . . . out of wood. Nice boards!!!
The sooner the better! its going to be a log cold winter that would be good time to make a surfboard.
