I have zero intentions of ever selling skis, I just want to know if people would dig these. They're rocking a victorian era black and white wallpaper graphic topsheet, same graphic in orange for bases, pink sidewalls. They're 111-88-11, theyre real soft in tip and tails while solid underfoot, huge tip and tail rocker, very little bit of camber. What are your thoughts ns?

Looking awesome man. What fabric did you use for your graphics? Cotton? Trying to figure out if I want to do a graphic layer on my next pair or not :S people often think my skis are made of pure wood and nothing else, so maybe a graphics layer would put an end to that...

Keep it up!

layup is straight forward, base edges, vds, one layer 22 oz tri-ax, core, another layer of glass, fabric then clear topsheet. I use west-systems atm because of lack of heating blanket.

it's probably cotton, honestly, walked into fabric store and told the lady I wanted the cheesiest wall paper victorian era stuff and this is what she got. :P my firs pair that I've been riding all year were just some paper graphics in the tips and tails and wood core everywhere else. Love the look of the wood core.

That's awesomely bold. I think I'll build without graphics until I run out of material and do cotton or something for the next round.
