Thank you Roger! Fancy is cool, too, but Ive always been attracted to simplistic beauty. Perhaps thats part of my taste for greenland paddles, too. I'll have to look again at the joints... I didnt cove and bead it, and there are a few small flaws. By R2K3, it'll have a nice varnish on it, and full deck rigging. And hopefully a few scratches! There's enough pads for greenland-style toggles fore and aft, and bungees as well for spare paddles.

: Sometimes people get waaaaaaaaaaaay fancy with the design treatment. Your
: kayak, to me, says that there is beauty in simplicity. Nice clean lines of
: contrasting wood makes a clean precise statement. and if the joints are
: tight, which I'm sure yours are, then the end result looks very
: professional.

: Nice design :)
