I'm in the process of restoring an old Cypress Gardens Lil Monster (I leared to ski on that ski). And i have it all sanded down and smoothed out and the physically the wood is repaired. Now that I am ready to refinish the wood, what kinds of wood did Cypress Gardens make skis of? This ski is made of pieces, with the middle piece being lighter than the outer ones.
Anybody been down this road before?

you mean longways along the joints between the different boards?
The ski was already split along one of those joints and the other was just starting to coe apart when I started working on it. It's been repaired with biscuit joints and some good waterproof wood glue. My dad happened to be the (un)lucky victim who was on it when it decided to come apart.
Either way I doubt it will ever really get skied on much again.
