In Response To: Launching: 290 hour baby *Pic* (Rod Tait)

: Robert and Patty recently launched their new baby. Completed at Orca Boats
: shop, this Spring Run has black walnut at the ends and completely around
: the cockpit, and for the deck mounted compass. Thanks to Joe for advice on
: the use of walnut.

Hey Robert and Patty,

Very nice indeed!!! I just cut some walnut strips yesterday for design (if I ever figure out what the design will be) for my Guillemot L. And after looking at the walnut on your yak, I'm glad I selected walnut! It sure gives your boat more than just a "touch" of elegance.

The only problem I see with the pic . . . two people and one kayak ? ? ? So, which design is next on the agenda?

Happy Paddling AND Building.

Charles.
