: I thought I should mention that I am about to become a real
: builder. I started assembling an internal strong back and have
: placed the forms into position for final alignment for a high
: deck Night Heron. I figure on taking two years to build this sea
: puppy because I have ideas for all kinds in inlay work that
: needs to be done. The deck will have two skinny intertwining
: strips of ash running along its length and be built primarily
: with clear cedar, unless I happen upon something I like better.
: The ash strips will have hand-made maple leafs (laminated bits
: of colored wood) attached at various random locations. I will
: construct my personal logo (large canadian maple leaf inset with
: fleur-de-lis and a Metis infinity symbol) and inset that onto
: the front deck. I hope to use naturally colored woods to create
: the logo so that I don't have to use dyes. Not sure what I will
: make the stems with yet, have to get down to the nitty gritty of
: form alignment and strip cutting first.

Cool :)

While you're making a "real" boat you can make a "real" paddle to go with it :)
