Hi Dale,

You aren't stealing any thunder of mine in building a rams head. I saw this design on one of those 50,000 clips art pictures you can buy for your computer and then streached it out longer and thinner then the orginal. I was getting dizzy looking at pictures and wanted something that looked nice but wouldn't cause too many problems for an inlay.

You kayak is really pretty. I was looking at your carrying rack for your kayak as I am trying to think ahead for mine. I thought I could go out and buy a strap on rack for about $50 and convert it but my car doesn't have a rain gutter and so I guess that won't work. Now it's looking more like $200. Yuk!

Take care,

John
