Excited to be gluing rails...

I am able to get 3 gluings in a day. It's a lot of fun to see the board getting close to putting a deck  and bottom on it.

Drawing Fins...

I have been studying fins for the longest time.  I found a way to use Splines in my Carving Software.  Looking forward to cutting them, shaping, and scanning them.  Looking forward experimenting more with fin design.  I have been really trying to put most effort into the fins as a board is begun.  For several years the fin has been the after thought.  I usually end up regretting the lack of time I put into an item that is essentially the hood ornament of the HWS.

Single 8 inch fin.

This is my first attempt at gluing two carved sides of a fin carving into one fin. It's 5/8 thick and too wide, but I think its a good first try.
