Experiment No. 3 - Scrap Surf

Shwood founder Eric Singer teams up with friends to create a unique wooden surfboard. Watch how Singer and company process and shape this functional one-of-a-kind board using reclaimed wood found on the Oregon coast. See more: www.shwoodshop.com/us
The construction process was guided by the expertise of Joe Blecha, a bona fide virtuoso of custom surf and snowboard construction. www.blechaboardshop.com
Kahana Kalama, professional surfer turned shop-owner (www.alohasunday.com), was there to test the limits of the handmade board upon its completion.
Based in Portland, Oregon, Shwood creates handcrafted wooden eyewear using fine exotic hardwoods. Shwood's in-house manufacturing process merges precision technology with classic skilled craftsmanship to create a timeless art form. Every step from veneering and precision lens cutting, to shaping and finishing is conducted in our own Portland-based workshop to promise an entirely handcrafted eyewear piece.

Alright, so it shows them cutting out the ribs with a jig-saw... but then the shot of the completed skeleton looks veeerryy prefab. Was this 100% backyard built or was there a CNC machine involved?

[@jordi4757]

yep, also the core is made from bamboo, not wood.
