Hi Pedro,

Like most "great" inventions, pretty simple : leftover strips laminated for looks (wengé-pine-wengé) and maybe, but unintentionally, durability. I have used the padeyes on my first 'yak for a couple of years now and they are pretty durable, lightweight, cheap and - mainly - small.

Thanks :-)

Jesper,
