This fin is for a 12' chambered balsa that I have been in the process of building for a while. The board is nearing completion and only a few steps remain. Finally I have a fin that I am happy with and here are a few pics from the build. Wood is Redwood Burl with Holly and Wenge "micro halo". Once the board is complete I will post up the entire build process.
Glue-up of the Micro Halo
Cheater Coat
Finished
Ready to be glassed onto the glider. Customer required the Halo to be made from fiberglass roving. This takes a bit more time to do but in the long run it is worth it. The roving halo protects the fin from rock strikes while giving it a true to vintage look.
