My second one which I hope to maybe launch my retirement (i.e. paid hobby) though will make all those strips of wood seem old school.<br /><br />I used my kayak often and like any new vehicle, the first scratch is very hard to take. But the nice thing about fiberglass, is some elbow grease and epoxy can make it all new again. I've never understood why since I wouldn't build such a thing to display it solely for artistic purposes. I would get it out on the lake and see what it could do!Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214319366049620074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-17664392309886201022010-10-09T23:32:12.230-04:002010-10-09T23:32:12.230-04:00The boat is what impressed me as well.

It was sad seeing photos inside grand hotels which thrived in the days of Motown. <br /><br />Ron, there were some inside museums (but the museums had to offer free admission to the show). But there were also lots outside and in hotels and other buildings. <br /><br />Ily, I'll look for your work in 2012!<br /><br />Vince, yeah, I agree, it wouldn't be stable, but it is a pretty of wood working. As for your question, Rosa Parks certainly is seen as an icon. She moved to Michigan in the 50s and lived out her life here, leaving Alabama behind.<br /><br />Tim, I agree, 800 hours is nearly 1/2 year of work!<br /><br />Brian, there's lot of neat things to see at the exhibit.<br /><br />Leni, great quote, I know how he feels...Sagehttp://www.sagecoveredhills.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-38002493765008300612010-10-09T16:29:00.420-04:002010-10-09T16:29:00.420-04:00I'm impressed by the awarded works and the hou...I'm impressed by the awarded works and the hours the artists used.
