Term 1, Week 7

On monday double-period we started practical work on our longboards. We began making a stringer (made of flax) to put in the centre of our boards. We used flax because it hasn't been used before in longboards, meaning we're making something completely original. We were supposedly going to weave the flax but on thursday (after a test) Terry decided we wouldn't need to weave the flax. On Wednesday we were in the computer rooms, getting up to date with our latest checklist. On Thursday we continued with our flax stringer, and i had done around 20cms worth. Next week we have to finish our designs (on the computer) and finish our flax stringer.
