Any photos and suggestions on wooden hang-board design for a do it your selfer? I like the looks of the beastmaker, anyone use them? How about curved slopers, crimps, sidepulls, tufa pinches. I'd like it to be simple yet comprehensive.
wood sounds like it would get pretty smooth and slick quite quickly. Maybe epoxy on some sandpaper or something for texture on the crimps.
I can't say wood would never become smooth and slick, but I've used a wood hangboard quite a bit and I've never had that problem. It would certainly be a cheap experiment.

My hands are not at the point where I can crimp - I'm still climbing open handed. I made three hangboards:
1. 12x36 piece of plywood, screwed a 2x4 with the narrow side to the plywood, to make an edge that's 3 1/2 inches wide, with another piece of 2x4 below to support. 2. PVC sloper from a bit of pvc pipe screwed to plywood with some no-slip material for stairs attached to it. 3. At my office at work, I just bolted a 2x4 directly to the wall over the doorway
