    Thanks Mike

    It's amazing how many hours we put into these boats and it's nice to know others appreciate what we are doing.

    Beautiful work!

    I suspect a little Greene and Greene reference in the styling, the corbels and the carbon fiber ebony?

    You know Ben I never gave it any thought about trying to make it look like a specific type of style. I just built something that looked good to me and accomplished the structural design also. But now that you mention it I can absolutely see what you are talking about which I guess proves that I am a fan of the arts and crafts style. Maybe I should add a few square pegs of ebony to the corbels to complete the look. :-)

    I was anxious to get a feel for the sink cabinet...

    So I spent some time this week after work roughing out the parts I needed for that. This gives me a better feel for where it will end up.

    I carried the aft side of the cabinet all the way up and it will also serve as the anchoring point for the aft lower shroud chain plate.

    But alas I need to fall back and do more glass work before I can go much further on this part. I just don't enjoy doing the glass work as much as the woodworking so I tend to put it off until I need to deal with it.
