: boards that transition from light to dark over their length,
: ripping into bookmatched strips and building a simple boat based

: pinstripes? Maybe a dark kingstrip? Maybe a dark-and-light
: coaming lip? Deck rigging or no?

: Also, does anybody have pictures showing mounted kayaks? I saw one

: hung from hooks upside-down over the bar. I saw the one on the
: wall of the kid's retreat recently, and that was a nice

Hi Bill

I built one to hang on a wall at a childrens camp last year. Here's a link to the build log, and a picture. I cut two 1" slots at the balance points and used 1" climb webbing to mount it.
If you'd like the Kayak Foundry fire, let me know.
