Foiled

a while back, twelve years to be exact, I scavenged some redwood scrap from a friends' shack in Occidental. just a few foot long offcuts collecting dust since the early 80's. in my mind they were as good as gold and needed to be treated to a proper project to honor the tree that was felled for this lumber. it has taken me longer than expected, but finally some of this scrap is getting it's due.

my first set of fins, still a ways to go, got to give them future bases, glass and bead them properly. but my new drive-line is well on its way...
