10'0" Longboard Blank & Wood Tail Block

Next board up will be a 10'0" longboard.  I went by the Holladay Surfboards factory and John Holladay, Clay Bennett, and I decided to use the Clark Foam 10'4" template on an existing 10'0" SUP blank to build a good nose rider.  John is experimenting with colored glues, so I had him use black pigment on the blank.  We decided to cutout a crescent on the deck/rails and glue it up to give it a triple stringer look like a classic looking WRV that I rode for years.

I'm also toying with the idea of adding a tail block to the longboard.  I glued two pieces of red oak with a thin piece of marine plywood for a simple design.  Below are pics of the raw blank and tail block.
