"Fractal Gun" Custom Wooden Marquetry Surfboard
About the Item
This is a unique custom surfboard featuring a marquetry deck, designed and hand-crafted by the w o o d p o p studio which specialises in marquetry and inlay work.
The studio prides itself on constantly challenging the limits of where and how marquetry can be applied and to that end they are the first designers to have ever successfully applied a full-scale marquetry artwork to fully-functioning surfboards.
This 7'6 surfboard is a hollow, skin and frame wooden board made out of Balsa sourced from sustainably managed and certified (FSC / PEFC) forests. It features a marquetry deck incorporating a combination of natural veneers including Oak, American Walnut, Sycamore and Beech amongst others. The surfboard has been glassed using a bio-resin instead of harmful epoxy resins and features a resin leash-plug and metal vent with a glassed-in wooden fin thereby avoiding any plastic fittings making it an ecologically sound alternative to your standard foam core surfboard.
Each w o o d p o p surfboard is a single edition artwork whilst also boasting some creditable provenance in the surf-world. They are shaped by the UK's legendary shaper of wooden boards Adam Williams; ensuring optimum performance, should you want to take it off your wall and into the water.

- 1930s Pacific System Homes Wooden SurfboardLocated in Haleiwa, HILate-1930s Pacific system Homes wood surfboard. Features an intricate design created with redwood and pine wood. Beautiful embellishments in the form of nose and tail blocks complete with an early style surfboard fin with low profile. This early surfboard weighs approximately 100 lbs. This incredible relic of surfing history has been held in the same Long Beach, CA family since new, handed down through several generations. This listing represents a seldom offered opportunity to own an remarkable early wooden surfboard from the 1930s. Little is known about the first Pacific System Homes boards, produced either in late 1929 or early 1930, except that they were made from redwood strips held together with lag bolts, and were probably 10 feet long and weighed about 70 pounds. Pine and redwood boards replaced the all-redwood boards by 1932; full-length redwood-edged balsa boards, weighing as little as 45 pounds and costing less than $40, were introduced in the mid-’30s. A swastika symbol—used by American Indians, Vikings, and Greeks as a sign of good luck and harmony—was wood-burned or print-marked onto the back of all Pacific System Homes’ Swastika boards up until 1937. The following year, after the swastika-decorated German military invaded Austria, Pacific System changed the line name to “Waikiki Surf-Boards.” The 1939 Waikiki board came in 10-, 11-, and 12- foot models, as well as a 14-foot paddleboard, and five- or six-foot “kiddie boards.” All were typical of the plank period: blunt-nosed, squared off at the tail, with near-parallel sides. Pacific System Homes boards were made in production runs of 15 on sawhorses in a designated dust-free area of the company’s 25-acre site, and were sold in beach clubs, sporting good stores, and high-end department stores like Robinson’s and the Broadway. Custom-made Pacific System Homes boards were also available, built by top California surfer-boardmakers like Pete Peterson and Whitey Harrison. California boardmaker Dale Velzy...Category
