ok, I have to ask this, and sorry if I offend but, why is it minus two inches in length? Was it a mistake in the shaping?
Don't get me wrong, you have my respect for even trying, I'm sure if I tried this it would all end up being a very expensive lesson.
And why not just buy a hand made board from an established shaper?
OMG did I just type that, I'm SO gonna get my @rse kicked on here.

nope not at all yes it was a mistake that made it small i cut the tall wrong and could not fix it so had too take a bit more of but its a lesson leaned for next time

2 its fun
3 i want too start shaping as a hobbie
