Hello All
I know there's some woodworkers here (Henk and Neo spring to mind) and I need something made as a surprise for my dad. He used to have a plywood bodyboard (basically a plank approx 50x18 inches, with a front end that was rounded and up-turned; I have a picture of it but that's the gist of it.) This Summer he'll be 65, my mum will be 60 and they'll have been married 40 years: cue lots of celebrations of the various anniversaries. I'd like to get my dad one of those old bodyboards but they're all fibreglass or whatever and the shape has changes to a shorter, wider and much deeper type of thing.
Is there anyone here who could make one of these (as I said, I have photos of the original); the issue might be "bending" (is there a technical term?) the plywood to curve up at the front.
I'll happily pay for the parts and labour.
Thanks
Ollie
