Bob,

Those are not my kayaks, they are Joe Greenley's kayaks. The house is his too, but our dining room and kitchen are that color. Also, the prongy this is his.

The kayaks are strip-built. Joe is quite the artist when it comes to strip building. I've seen a couple of pictures of that yak and it is very sharp. He does an excellent job of matching strips up by color and grain.

: Mike,

: Your boat collection is gorgeous (as is that 20' walled house, and that
: prongy on the wall). Can tou tell me the technique used to make the deck
: in the boat that is third from the right. Is the keyed plank in the middle
: of the deck plywood? And are the dark highlights a small strip of
: different wood? Gorgeous!

: thanks, Bob
