Wooden Gliders, Yaks, and High Gloss

One of the great things about the Wooden Boat Show is the amazing work done by craftsmen from all walks of life.  These boats aren't just for the older set!!!  Men like Scott Baumberger and Scott Visbaras create beautiful wooden surfboards.  Really cool gold-leaf signage being done by Stephen Filarsky.  Chip King and others are restoring or replicating classics from Chris-Craft and others.  Then original canoes and rowboats are coming from Don Roberts, Mason Cox, and John Martin.  Then comes the sails, teams come together and restore old sloops and such.  enjoy.......

So I slept in on Saturday am and then cooked it down to G-Town for the wooden boat show.  Such a great event showcasing some amazing artists and craftsmen.  Plus the stories were great from these guys.  I only got to spend a little time down there but it will be on my calendar for next year!!!  I should maybe set my alarm a little earlier though!!  enjoy........I'll put a link to a slide show of all 200 shots later tonight, gotta go make the donuts!!!
