To All,

My wife never goes into the workshop or barn, so what she doesn't know can't hurt me.

Regarding the lack of strip boats, in addition to the LM 2 14886 pictured, I've
got a woodstrip canoe, but it was too heavy to carry outside. I've built 6 more
woodstrips, several being sold years ago, while some were built specifically
for others. The 2 S&G's were given away. There were a couple more folders,
but they were cannibalized to built new ones. Keep in mind all this building
has taken place over the last 30 years. The oldest kayak in the pic is the
Lowie woodstrip from about 1990. The canoe (Jensen Pro-Boat Copy) was built
in 1980 or so.

It may be time to hold a garage sale. The barn is starting to get crowded
and the plans for Bjorn Thomassons "Hunter" woodstrip just arrived this week.

Thanks for the laughs,

Tom
