Misc Past hobbies

Past hobbies · 10:36 PM

Well with some upcoming changes in my life. I had to post one of my pride and joys up for sale.

I built this several years ago, during a very trying time in my life and unfortunately it wont be able to make the next journey with me as much as I would like to keep it, I need to pare down.

Just thought I would share one of my other hobbies with you.

It's all about letting go.

It is terribly beautiful! And isn't photography wonderful that it at least helps you capture that beauty. It is obvious that much love and hard work went into it.

Very sleek.
Looks hand crafted. Still call this a kayak?

Wow. That is absolutely stunning!

That is a beautiful piece of workmanship John, photo's not bad neither.

Thanks for showing us

Awesome craftsmanship by the look of it John, you're a talented guy.

Very nice, makes me want to get in it and go canoing

That is a stunning kayak, beautiful workmanship. I can't imagine having to give it up, you have my sympathy.

Oh. My. Gawd...

That is beautiful! Wish I could help you find it a loving home, but I think Fedex to Nebraska might be a pricey deal.

Thanks all, I really appreciate the comments. although I don't use it near as much as it deserves, it will be tough let go. I just hope the new owner who ever it is, enjoys it as much as I do.

Thanks for looking.

I have seen it in person and the photo does not do the piece justice. It is one beautiful piece of fine workmanship. Nicely done John. JIM

Have you considered offering it to a local museum or something like that John? It looks like it's a traditional design.
