Yeah, I took the pic above. The place where my kayak usually rides on top of my car was then occupied by another (or, at least the frame, of another) one. Only, this one was in a very early stage of development.
By that time, the kayak-to-be was a 4,90 m x 20 cm x 5 cm piece of what is called around here "pino melis", which could actually be, shortleaf, loblolly, longleaf or slash pine (and reasonable likely to have come from "my" state, Georgia), and a 2'40 m x 15 cm x 10 cm chunk of American ash. Now the pine has become two future gunwales, two future chines, one future keelson, a piece to be cut into straight deck beams and some remnants and I hope to start working on them in a couple of days.
Masik and arched deck beams are still inside the ash piece and will remain there for a while yet.
