: That is soooo nice, I'd be scared to get it wet, have to find a place to hang it in the livingroom :)
Hi Kevin,Yes it does,LOOK NICE.
I built two of Rob's Firestars.a spitting imaje of the Nikumi (at first glance, at least).mine were also built with great care and artistic flare.
One of them is up in the [Doug Fir]sarked ceiling of my lounge where it takes a little time for strangers to realize it is there.The second boat ,I have done 750 kms this year and ,well, it looks like it from the numerous scratches on the bottom.
We seem too concerned with the preciousness of our labors, I think.I believe Nick shade's attitude appears to be about right,of course this would suit him.That seems to be "just use em and rebuild them or make another....I am a follower of this approach.The greatest fun seems to be with the paddle in your hands.
cheers, from Paul NZ.
