One craftsman, some balsa, glue, and glass!
This is a balsa that Bing shaped for himself about 12 years ago.
And here is the fin!

Foster Folsom and his balsa Bing #3670

Here are some photos of my balsa Bing.  About two years ago a friend came by my house and asked what it would take to get a stuffed blue marlin I had hanging in my garage and I told him an old surfboard.

Well he told me he had one in his shed that was balsa  Right.   I went to his house and all I could see under the junk was the fin and when we pulled the board out it was in such bad shape I made a deal for the fin only.  The glass was separated,  sun bleached  and black sand was under it.  I took the board home thinking that all I would get was the fin. I pulled the glass back and guess what—IT WAS BALSA. I loaded the marlin into my truck and the deal was made.  I had to have  the board reglassed  but we salvaged the original number and sticker.

I have about 10 old boards this is the one I thought I would never have.  I hope you like the photos .

Oh yeah –one day the guy came by and saw the board and he asked what it was worth  all I could say was one blue marlin
