gonna cut a deep swallow or maybe just another moontail...
Thanks for the tips! Definitely not even close to done with the bottom yet. Used the planer and hit it with a sanding block at 60 grit. Gonna take it up to 220 later on with the sponge egg crate thing. Also plan on adding a deeper double with a little vee out the tail. And yes thank you I have been trying to work on nose to tail but it’s my 6th board so the order I do things is still kinda all over the place lol. Shaping in my friends bay so I was limited on time and only had an hour to work with. Gonna try to finish it off tomorrow hopefully.I hope you take this the right way.

Since you've already worked in the concave, and sanded it, I'm assuming your are done with the bottom? Your stringer is still high, and your sanding is pretty rough. Screens come in different grits, and it looks like you're stopping at 150 grit. Take it to 220, and finish with paper. Also, the sanding marks are a bit disorganized. Smooth and longer stroke is what you are after.
Oohhhh tasty!View attachment 81640
5’10 summer swallow
Nice boards, where did u learn how to do that, Swaylocks?

Hemp inlay. It's supposedly stronger for its weight than wood. I let the resin set too much on the above. The hemp is extremely difficult to cut (very tough) once that happens so my cutlap wasn't very clean. That's why I hid it under the pinline, which I normally don't use. Here's one I did without the pinline. I also made some fins to go with the 2+1 above.Great stuff guys. Gdaddy that bottom one looks sweet. Is that a cloth of some sort on the deck side?
You're getting there. But take advantage of the sidelights. Do you see the wiggley shadow lines from dark to light? Those are wiggles in the shape. If you haven't glassed it yet, fix those. When you glass it, all those bumps and wiggled are where you are going to sand through.finished up my #6 today! 5’4”.20”.2-1/4”View attachment 81660View attachment 81662View attachment 81663View attachment 81664View attachment 81665
