My Paulownia wood planks from WPI has arrived... 4 of the 8 boards I ordered from them were badly cut... the planks were crooked... but at least they are all crooked roughly the same way. After rearranging them I've think I can make 2 Alaias out of them... I don't have a jointer... so I guess I'm just going to plane the edges and see if I can join them as they stand.
Got some EPS block foam as well... gonna try to make some mini simmons... Now all I need to do is build a shaping stand and wait for my plane, surform and epoxy glue to arrive! Keep checking back I'll be posting my progress (or lack thereof...) I hope my first boards don't look like crap!
