Wow, that's beautiful.  McDing called and offered me a ride to the show.  Don't think I can make it, but I sure wish I could - love to see that masterpiece in person!

outstanding !!!

 

as usual

Hi Gene -

UnF'ingbelieveable!  The linked videos are among the most informative board making footage I've seen.  I am in awe of the shaping, glassing and sanding processes shown. 

I've never seen another 15'5" gun so the whole damn thing is unique and out of the box.  The concave tail with beveled rails is very cool.  

I love it when I can watch someone else do the whole shebang form start to finish - right down to laminating, cutting and foiling the fin by hand.

GREAT stuff!  I might try and make Sacred Craft after all just to check that beauty out.
