 Guilherme Pallerosi lives in Brasil.  He likes to surf on and to make ancients boards. He has started a blog to tell surf history and research techniques to build the old wooden surfboards. ” Its in the beginnings, but you can see at: http://madeiraeagua.blogspot.com/ (its Portuguese)
I would like to post in your blog my blog address and the photos of a board I´ve made. (I have more photos on the blog )”

 Guilherme has a different approach to building his boards , as it appears he laminates the ply to achieve the rocker in his boards and then shapes and foils it to achieve the final shape.A very interesting way of doing things.

The finished board has quite a different look. It may be a little heavy depending on the ply used and the amount of timber left. It would be good to hear from him on this. There are many ways to build a wooden board and it is great to see the different approaches people use depending on their experience and tools or situation they have to work with.

Simplicity

In order to control the amount of light that is beaming through your windows you must adjust the louvers from all the way open for maximum light, to complete coverage with them being fully shut. No matter your window sizes or where in your space they are, wooden louvers give these spaces a classic looking and functional feel. Also, regardless of the style of your space, wood louvers offer a simple, tasteful look that anyone can appreciate by transforming a once ordinary window space into an elegant accent to your home or office.

Maximizing Conservation

With everyone trying to mitigate the cost of their energy consumption, we all know how vital it is to get the most out of your money in terms of spending it on monthly utility bills.

When you factor that number with the fact that windows account for 11-24% of air-conditioning costs, it becomes clear that an alternative to normal blinds can be incredibly beneficial to both the look and energy efficiency of your home or office.
