How Grain Makes Wooden Surfboards

In this episode of Bloomberg Pursuits’ MADE series we visit a shop in York, Maine. Grain Surfboards are built through an additive process that has much in common with traditional wooden ship-building. Planks of wood are cut and glued onto an internal wood frame before being sanded down to their final shape.

  3. no one wants a wood board lol they are for the poor crafty crew who has reclaimed wood and a need for a board. wood laminate is nice.

  4. Very awesome Surfboard build. Glad you let the Old Timers still teach the Hand Craft.

  5. Nice video. The only thing I don’t like about it is the use of CAD and the computer cut out then saying it’s completely made by hand.

  6. U used a cnc machine… That's not πŸ’― percent handmade. So plz stop saying that, and don't lie to people.
