These pictures showcase the board building process I use.
I like to send screenshots of my design to the client for approval before cutting on our CNC machine, and follow up with progress shots to keep you in the loop.
Board design
Cutting the bottom
The final cut
Cutting lines removed and final tweaks by hand. Mark out and route fin box holes. Mark up channels following the toe-in on the boxes.

Glassing the deck with a deck patch using orange resin tint
Putting the decals on
Hot coats
After the board was sanded I put a finish coat of resin on the bottom
The deck received a fine pin line to really finish it off then the final coat of resin was applied
