So the project began….and the first wooden surfboard they chose to make was a 9ft Gun using solid Jarrah timber, which was recycled from the York/Greenhills rail bridge. The project name was formed **[“Always Offshore” ](https://www.jahroc.com.au/gallery-category/always-offshore-surfboards/)– [ read more about this collection here](https://www.jahroc.com.au/gallery-category/always-offshore-surfboards/)…** After that came the 7’6″ Hollow Sheoak Surfboard which Jim Banks also had a hand in making. The 6’2″ Fish Surfboard, and the 7’2″ Fish Hybrid Surfboard. These stunning hollow wooden surfboards feature striking native timbers such as Australian Red Cedar, Queensland Silver Ash, Western Australian Sheoak, Jarrah and Marri. Along with the surfboards, Gary has also developed a range of surfboard inspired furniture designs. --- These wooden surfboards have been admired by many at JahRoc Galleries, Margaret River. Art collectors, surfers, and fellow surfboard makers have taken note of these beautifully crafted surfboards and Gary Bennett is becoming known as a Wooden Surfboard Maker, with these works of art being highly collectable pieces. --- * ![62 Fish Wooden Surfboard Front](https://www.jahroc.com.au/wp-content/uploads/ 2014/12/62-Fish-Wooden-surfboard-front.jpg) * ![62 Fish Wooden Surfboard Back Angle](https://www.jahroc.com.au/wp-content/uploads/ 2014/12/62-Fish-Wooden-surfboard-back-angle.jpg) * ![72 Fish Hybrid Wooden Surfboard](https://www.jahroc.com.au/wp-content/uploads/ 2014/12/72-Fish-Hybrid-Wooden-Surfboard.jpg) * ![72 Fish Hybrid Wooden Surfboard Side](https://www.jahroc.com.au/wp-content/ uploads/2014/12/72-Fish-Hybrid-Wooden-Surfboard-side.jpg) * ![76 Sheoak Hollow Surfboard Front](https://www.jahroc.com.au/wp-content/uploads/ 2014/12/76-Sheoak-Hollow-Surfboard-front.jpg) * ![76 Sheoak Hollow Surfboard Back](https://www.jahroc.com.au/wp-content/uploads/ 2014/12/76-Sheoak-Hollow-Surfboard-back.jpg) * ![Surfboards In Gallery](https://www.jahroc.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/ Surfboards-in-gallery-.jpg) * ![Table Hall Fish Marrri With Inlays St 291 21 03 14 0032](https://www.jahroc. com.au/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Table-Hall-FIsh-Marrri-with-Inlays-ST-291-21- 03-14-0032.jpg) * ![Gja20 Greg James Peaceful Facade Sculpture](https://www.jahroc.com.au/wp-content/ uploads/2016/08/GJA20-Greg-James-Peaceful-Facade-sculpture.jpg) * ![Chaise Lounge Super Fish Marri 5 334 Sorbello 004](https://www.jahroc.com.au/ wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Chaise-Lounge-Super-Fish-Marri-5-334-Sorbello-004. jpg) * ![6 2 Fish Logo Detail1](https://www.jahroc.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/ 6-2-Fish-logo-detail1.jpg) * ![Malibu Coffee Table Blackbutt](https://www.jahroc.com.au/wp-content/uploads/ 2014/10/Malibu-Coffee-Table-blackbutt.jpg) * ![Coffee Table Malibu Underside](https://www.jahroc.com.au/wp-content/uploads/ 2014/10/Coffee-Table-Malibu-underside.jpg) * ![Banks 9ft Coffee Table Side](https://www.jahroc.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2014/ 12/Banks-9ft-Coffee-Table-Side.jpg) * ![Banks 9ft Gun Coffee Table Top 2](https://www.jahroc.com.au/wp-content/uploads/ 2014/12/Banks-9ft-Gun-Coffee-Table-Top-2.jpg) * ![9 Solid Jarrah Gun Surfboard](https://www.jahroc.com.au/wp-content/uploads/ 2014/12/9-Solid-Jarrah-Gun-Surfboard.jpg) * ![9 Solid Jarrah Gun Surfboard Front](https://www.jahroc.com.au/wp-content/uploads/ 2014/12/9-Solid-Jarrah-Gun-Surfboard-front.jpg) #### These photos show Jim Banks and Gary Bennett making the 9ft Solid Jarrah Gun Surfboard * ![9ft Gun Surfboard Red King Brown Jim Shaping](https://www.jahroc.com.au/wp- content/uploads/2014/12/9ft-gun-Surfboard-Red-King-Brown-Jim-shaping.jpg) * ![9ft Gun Surfboard Red King Brown Gb Sanding](https://www.jahroc.com.au/wp-content/ uploads/2014/12/9ft-gun-Surfboard-Red-King-Brown-gb-sanding.jpg) * ![9ft Gun Surfboard Jim Shaping](https://www.jahroc.com.au/wp-content/uploads/ 2014/12/9ft-gun-Surfboard-Jim-shaping.jpg) * ![9ft Gun Surfboard Oiled Red King Brown](https://www.jahroc.com.au/wp-content/ uploads/2014/12/9ft-gun-Surfboard-oiled-Red-King-Brown.jpg) * ![9ft Gun Surfboard Fins Detail](https://www.jahroc.com.au/wp-content/uploads/ 2014/12/9ft-gun-Surfboard-fins-detail.jpg) * ![9 Solid Jarrah Gun Surfboard](https://www.jahroc.com.au/wp-content/uploads/ 2014/12/9-Solid-Jarrah-Gun-Surfboard.jpg) * ![9 Solid Jarrah Gun Surfboard Front](https://www.jahroc.com.au/wp-content/uploads/ 2014/12/9-Solid-Jarrah-Gun-Surfboard-front.jpg) [View Always Offshore Surfboards](https://www.jahroc.com.au/gallery-tag/always-offshore-surfboards)
