Strip: SHOOTING STAR FORMS AVAILABLE *PIC*

Hey, gang, long time no post.

I have the forms for my Laughing Loon Shooting Star available for local pick up in the SF Bay Area, East Bay. They are made of i/2-inch plywood and were used to construct one kayak, photos of which have been posted here several times and can also be found at laughingloon.com. The first to build this boat was Ken Katz, and he sized the forms down to 97% in order to bring the beam, with 3/16" strips, into the 21" spec advertised. (Apparently the forms at printed size yield an INTERIOR beam of 21".) Anyway, I did the same. Details on the boat:

To pick up the forms, please show me a receipt from Rob Macks/Laughing Loon, so that I'll know you have purchased the plans from him and he will receive proper compensation.

Happy stripping, as it were.
