Does anyone have a timber board they would sell. Chasing a old timber board to use as a feature in a room. Looking for one at a fair price. If you have one PM me.

How did you manage to get permission for that from the wife/girlfriend/boyfriend?

There's a dodgey antique dealer in North Geelong called How Bazaar. Ph 03 5278 5453. He said he has John Safron Pig from 1967 made for Geelong Grammar School, in great condition, balsa, but is $3k.

He has some hollow paddle boards, of the plywood variety.

So are you looking to restore something yourself? Are you thinking balsa, or are you thinking "redwood" Duke style board? Solid...

An old mate of mine Val Byrne, well his little bother (in Sydney) does some remakes of "hollow pin tails". He's a carpenter / boat builder by trade. He has some copies of Bob Cooper's old plans / designs. And they are authentic rebuilds. They would be circa $2k maybe $2.5k.

I'd guys a "Duke" style board would have an asking price of $3k++. Have a look at those surfing auctions. Talk to Mick Mock in Sydney about what you are after.

This has 2 lovely timber stringers. Converging stringers / splayed stringers. Condition is 99/100. Pretty much flawless. Yours for $1050 including freight to QLD.
