good option Fretty, also Ponch could reshape the body a bit and maybe give it a Jag shape. With the swimming pool route and tummy/elbow cuts should lose a bit of weight.
Otherwise get a custom build out of paulownia, I got a paulownia LP and it's featherweight !

Ive got a surfboard build out of paulownia that I'm about halfway through - I'd never thought of using it for a scratch body build! It's great to work with and tougher than I thought it would be given how light it is.Originally Posted by wokkaboy
