Looked all around in my shop and finally found the motivation. So I'm back at work on my Bear Mountain Endeavor. This kayak is made of basswood with cherry trim. There is also some walnut in some of the accent pieces. We just have the one kayak so Susie and I have to take turns paddling down the Tippecanoe River. Going together would be so much nicer. The ten mile paddle on a fall day with crisp air, blue sky, floating leaves and no mosquitos is precious.
