| Looks PRetty Good! I think you should put a thin sheet of metal on like where the decks are supposed to be pressed. I think it would make it smoother! |

| honest opinion?
looks alright......if its only to please your own deck making adventures.
its not going to produce symmetrical concave and the shape will be wonky.
also the wood is soft. its going to give under heavy pressure.
your never going to make another exact half for the mold by sanding it with wood neither.
i would sand 1 half of the mold, get it good, then pour resin over the 1st half to get an exact 2nd half of the mold......then pour resin in that 2nd half to get the 3rd half, (which would really be the 2nd half). you then have 2 half made of resin. both fit together perfectly.
its good to see someone experimenting though. deck making is all about over coming problems.
i wish you luck. |

| honestly, instead of spending the money on veneer, glue, and lacquer. I'd get some Bond-o or resin and make a nice mold, then save up for the rest of your materials... |

| ive already got my materials, what i usualy build usualy works.. ill be treating the wood with a hardener that i have previously used and will be using gauges to get my correct allignment with both curvatures and depth of that i can then work out the required 2nd mold shape using the data from the first i shall post the pictures of the decks when they are made |

| Lol
ive been making different wood molds for along time i had the top and bottom the same fit.
what i did was i put a picture of the shape I wanted on a block of wood then i cut it out. ( I forgot the name of the tool i used) my only problem was the was no concave :/
but yea its a cool idea to try but listen to what Blosom said. |
