In Response To: Fixing (Nick Schade - Guillemot Kayaks)

: In a couple days you can get a perfectly good boat. If you don't like the
: looks, give it a nice paint job. Trying to fix it up so the wood work
: really looks good will take a lot of effort and won't result in a boat
: that is any better.

: If you want a blemish free boat, build a new one from scratch.

Or you can do what any professional woodworker would do. You can turn a problem into a design feature.

Cover that blemish with a fancy veneer image of a jumping dolphin or some such other critter.

Don't dispair. Good luck!

All the best,
