: I feel honored to received one of your "word plays".

: In keeping with the strip build all the designs are 1/4" solid
: figured redwood and claro marbled walnut. This was all built on
: a "sub-deck" of pine. The sub-deck is used to support
: the small pieces and provide a way of holding the flame tips
: until the rest of the deck is filled in. The white you see is a
: full-size paper pattern of the design.
: There is no veneer or stain used in this kayak.

Well done, indeed! You did it the way I plan to do mine. Wood right through where patterns occur. However, I don't plan to use a sub-deck or anything. I'll just cut out of the deck what I don't want after it's built and slowly work the inlay openings until they fit the appropriate shapes exactly...well, almost exactly, since I am not too anal about exact fits. I can see why you used the sub-deck, those inlays are huge. How long did it take you to get it done right to completion?

: We vacationed in the Outer Banks, NC and this water is the Cape
: Hatteras National Seashore on the Atlantic Ocean, Far far away
: from Illinois.

Now that is someplace for me to vacation one day.
