Solid wood Bellyboard
Surf boards are always in demand and
can be made especially attractive if they are painted in bright colors.
.A light wood,such as pine or redwood, will not split, if two cleats are
mortised flush on the underside. Finish with oil stain and a brightly colored
design, with spar varnish over all. The size given is suitable for children
who do not weigh over 90 lbs. Larger surf boards along the same lines can
be made for adults.
