This would skip the hard part of cutting the cap and removing the motor well.

I recommend CarbonCore over Seacast because it really pours and leaves no air pockets.

Every one I've seen done this way ended up having the skin seperate from the core because the remaining wood on the skin tore free. I have nothing against the pourables, but the chainsaw method doesn't clean them the surface enough to get a proper long term bond IMHO.
