Grace Kylie Cores




We made up this nice system to squeeze two cores at a time. What you see in the vice is a 196 Kylie core. 3 stringers of 20mm bamboo separated by 10mm of poplar and the 35mm poplar sides sandwich it all. The poplar on the sides will be milled to create the side cut. The Kylie core will have a profile of 2mm at tip and tail and 12mm underfoot, with a round curve. By round curve we mean the ski not have a flat spot underfoot. We like a ski that flexes evenly.
The profile will be cut with a 3 axial CNC machine.
