Strip: Amazing kayak in Italy- gorgeous inlays

Good day everyone,

I met a guy who designed his own kayak using Kayak Foundry, and then took it over the top with some insane inlays. I am very impressed. Federico gave me permission to post this for him as english is his second language, but actually he probably doesn't butcher the language as much as I do.

Unable to post the pic because it is not .jpg or .png, so here are three links. Check out this guy's talented work. The inlays are in wenge. The way he did the lady's face on the deck is just amazing. I thought Federico should get recognition on this forum for his work. I am just the messenger.

It turns out there is an Italian kayak forum here: www.kayakinlegno.com Looks like some great work there- sit on tops, baidarkas, strippers.
