The HUS-SKI skiis are 60" long x 6" wide and 5/8" thick. Maple is the species of wood. All HUS-SKI skiis had a veneer glued into the tip of the ski to help preserve the bend. This veneer was 16". Some skiis had the same veneer glued into the trailing edge. but only in 6". The maple is steam bent first then glued together to make the desried width. If you need more info on making skiis, feel free to ask more questions.
