Hello Dan,

I have stared and stared at your site before. You've got talent not just in the inlay but the design too. Wasn't this kayak sent to Spain? I did a "Buen Camino" board to comemmorate my fiancé hiking the Camino de Santiago (across Spain). We just returned from hiking it together. The Buen Camino has the shell of the camino inlaid in sea snail and the cross of St James in red lacquered abalone. For the Abalone there could be no sanding due to the lacquer. I had to get it perfect on the inlay. The Cross of St James is now my surfboard logo and will be inlaid in some fashion on every board henceforth.
