In Response To: Sheesh! (Rick Allnutt)

: Thanks Nick for the comments. Your answer is exactly what I was looking for.

: Come on guys... I am not going to exactly or even mostly copy Nick's
: design... I do like the look of the pinched in bow that he got... I may do
: something like that. Yes, my boat will be unique, etc.

: Yes, Scott, your are right. I did not appreciate the tone. Perhaps you were
: reading more into my post than I intended. Maybe we both were having a bad
: day.

: What I said was: "I have my eye on a design somewhat similar to Nick's
: on the cover of his book. It gives the impression of a pinched in
: greenland kayak to my eye.

: I would love some suggestions about laying out such a design on the deck.

: -Do the sinuous curves of the design strips require steaming, heat gun, or
: what to bend?
: -I believe I see the rest of the deck pieces laid more or less parallel to
: the shear strip. Does this end up being easier than laying a lot of
: sinuous strips, is it to avoid warping of the deck, or is it just to be
: pretty?"

: My questions are about technique, not pattern. I can stand the flames, but
: sure did not expect them from that post! I have not seen much on the board
: about how to work inbetween some of the artistic details on a deck. I was
: asking for information about the techniques.

: Rick

Rick if you need help or sugestions just email me.
Keep building, Elliott
