John's from South Africa originally but now lives in Cornwall. He's been a fan of wooden boards for many years, having grown up on cut-down bellyboards in the late 1960s in Durban.
He's been a keen desciple of… instagram.com/p/CDetcOtHrXi/…
Tool Time!
The sharpest, and the bluntest tool in the workshop. They say its easier to keep an edge on old tools. Debatable that one. Sometimes you just have to work around the flaws, and wear and tear!… instagram.com/p/CDWIAa_HLaH/…
True colours. A more accurate representation of this board than the weekend's twilight shots. And a little hint to the (for now) secretive core. I've put this structure into a few boards now, with the goal of using… instagram.com/p/CDR6BCgn14H/…
How big's your belly?
'Standard' FARM belly(with a little personalisation), being dwarfed by 'The Big Boy'. This thing started life even bigger, having been pressed on a former used for the hybrid paipo/alaia. That… instagram.com/p/CDOyvtVnna5/…
Piglet in the middle...... of the middle of two Piglets.
4.5mm cedar core, tapered to 2.5mm at the nose and 0.25mm at the tail, with cork glued ready to hand shape before vacuum laminating between two layers of 1.5… instagram.com/p/CDMT23hnZzG/…
They keep on coming! This time a thank you to cameronstaunton for the clip, and barrel_pig for breaking in his new Piglet so gently!

Two boards, and a Border.
You're turning 50, you deserve to treat yourself to at least two boards.

Final coat of wax, last light.
7ft by 18 inches. Birch skins, cork rails, secret core. Just over 4kg. 3/4 inch with a subtle spoon shape at the nose down, down to 1/4 inch tail with deep single concave. Oiled and… instagram.com/p/CDFBf8_nso4/…
A little sequence from Sydney last weekend to start this one. Images courtesy of joselo_aqua 🙏. And barrel_pig doing just what he does on board The Piglet. A little different this one though. No channels, but with a… instagram.com/p/CDCJrcTnE5E/…
His and hers. Buy your loved one a board and save on shipping by getting yourself something....
Naked bat-tail paipo and channeled Piglet. Both cedar core with Finish Birch skins. Finished with oil and… instagram.com/p/CC_sL3uH4so/…
Donkey work. Working on the negative that will form the positive, this is easily the biggest former I've made to date. 80kg of solid wood to form a not so solid, light weight 7ft, thin and super flexible blank.… instagram.com/p/CC8xFroHhsB/…
No 1 favourite review! You're going to have to go some to top this. Thanks Keith! More of the above please😊😊😊😊

Yes or no? You've got a brand new Piglet 'lite'. Untested light weight experimental core. The sensible option would be to test it smaller, smoother.....

Bare belly time!
Locally grown (5 miles away) Western Red Cedar with Finish Birch skins. Vacuum laminated. Naked if that's the way you like them.

I'll vacuum laminate a super thin and flexible Cedar and Birch paipo blank for you. The nose already has a subtle hull shape into a double concave in the tail Sanded and ready to shape, decorate and finish. Then it's… instagram.com/p/CCg_buRHhg2/…
The smile is because he knows where he's going.
