I started making one and recently got some supplies to continue working on finishing it. I took 2 sheets of 1/8" plywood and cut out the shape i want then glued them together. I sat both ends up on wood and a bad of cement in the center so once the glue cured it had i nice rocker to it. I think put a layer of fiber glass on each side. The only problem ive came across is its WAY to flexible. Ive gotten so good with the glassing that i use only enough resin for the glass to wet out which brings out the flexibility of the glass. Best bet would be to do like three sheets of 1/8 inch wood and a few layers of glass. The glass isnt needed but makes it more waterproof and i like the idea of glass vs wood. Ill try and get some pics of what ive got so far. Im hoping to add a few layers of chop to each side to stiffen it up then id like to add a finishing layer of carbon or carbon/kevlar but i doubt ill waste the money.
