: Hi George,

: I like it. Yes; less is more, but you can hide details in plain
: sight. I prefer simple designs with lots of details that only
: the trained eye will see. The inexperienced is awed by the wood,
: the experienced builder sees more and keeps him/her interested.
: This way all are amused :)

: Btw, african mahogany is indeed beautiful but awfully heavy and
: very hard, bitch to work with but can be worth it.

: Bill H.

Btw, there are some that are over the top that are very interesting too. One favorite example borrowed from Ross Leidy's site from "Nancy":

This is only a small part of that boat, I very highly recommend going taking a look, unbelievable work.
