Beautiful Balsa Board By Bill

Bill with his latest Wood board creation
A good shot of the 21 stringer beauty
The hand made fin by Bill

We just wanted to offer up a real stunner that just rolled in. This is a beautiful, 9’ 7” wood board completely milled and hand shaped by Bill Stewart. With 21 stringers in all, this board is a visual delight . Very clean balsa and book ended redwood, this board is reminiscent of the fine classics Dale Velzy shaped throughout his career, but with the Bill flair. This is a fully templated board, with a pulled nose, and a squash tail complimented with a tail block. The fin is also unique and handmade.It is a period correct barn door fin, with a 1/4” glass bead. I wouldn’t want to charge my local break on this stout beauty , but would love to see it hanging over my fireplace, appreciating with value as time goes on. Wood boards like these do not come up very often, and there are not many shapers that can really pull off a really good glue up, let alone an appealing template. A fine centerpiece for any collector or aficionado of fine Surfboards. Own a conversation piece worth talking about. this board is offered @ $5000.00 us
