Thanks to Phil Gonzalez we have more foam for our handplane project. Phil, a longtime Leucadia local, hooked us up with a buckled circa 1996 Iron Cross 9'0. The board will yield a good bounty of foam for plenty of handplane fun. For his generosity Phil received our last Leucadia Project tee and a couple of wax buddies. Not a bad score for an old board destine to be dumped.
The bonus was that the board was shaped by our good friend Dennis Murphy. It was board number 7087 in fact. The cool thing is that once we get the board milled down to handplane blanks we are going to get Dennis to shape his own version. It will be pretty cool to see him shape the same foam he shaped 14 years earlier! I'm looking forward to trying it out.
If you have a broken board and would like to donate it, give us a shout. We'll dig through our goody bag and hook you up with something for your generosity.
Enjoy.
