Newbowyer:
Maybe I will do that. I will try to get pics up of rest of board. I might cut it out and draw dimensions out.

I am aiming for 40# @27".  I think I am going to cut it down to 1.5 inches from 1.75. I am goingt to have the fades start 14 inches from tips. Should I have them go down to 3/8 in width and 1/4 in height? I think I will do a stiff handle as well. 64 NTN.

I really appreciate the help! Thanks

DanaM:
At only 40# I think linen or silk will be more than enuf to keep any splinters down.
Good luck and keep us posted.

AndrewS:
I think, it will work without backing. A silk- or linenbacking will make it totaly safe!

George Tsoukalas:
I don't like any imperfections on my boards. I'd return it. Jawge

George Tsoukalas:
Also, the grain pattern on that board on the face seems to be all over the place. Take it back and look for a straight grained board  is my advice. Also look at the edge gain. There's a picture of a almost perfect board on my site. Jawge
