Gary Linden, well known surfer and master shaper (look him up) has been making agave boards for years - long boards, short boards and Jaws/Mavericks style guns. He's known as the Agave Master. Personally, I look at agave as balsa's ugly stepsister as I think it is a fairly unattractive wood color and grain wise. Give me a chambered balsa, redwood or cedar board any day - no veneer kits allowed... (woodworker for 50+ yrs)

I would love to shape an agave blank! I've got a Balsa blank I got from Ricky some years back that I just talked to him about at his Christmas party about shaping next year with a bit of his help. A mezcal fish would be AWESOME.
