[RoyStewart]

@krazzykid97 Hi I'm using paulownia.

[Tsgarlin]

Fascinating process. Do you sell any of your wooden boards in the US?

[tomatthewstoday]

is that chipboard

[RoyStewart]

Lol no if it's the surfboard that you are referring to that's the best surfboard building wood in the world, known as Empress or Princess wood, in Australia as Kiri, in China as Powton, and the botanical name is Paulownia.

There might be some chipboard used there for a workbench though.

at 1:34 some glue or somthing is being used on wood that looks alot like chipboard, from the video

[RoyStewart]

Yes I see now that's the sides for the rocker jig being scarfed together from two pieces of chipboard.

[RoyStewart]

Good craftmanship though.
