This was a lotta fun to shape, but very hard to find a blank that would accommodate it- it's over 24" wide. It has a lot more hull and a lot less vee than the original efforts- but there's still plenty of vee. It's a great example of what can be done outside the normal dimension box. I sure wish it was up at Cojo today!
