I did it! The five year war is over... or the first part anyhow. Tomorrow I'll start sealing it for lamination. The wood is beautiful, can't wait to see it glossed. I was going to sell it...?? I don't know if I'm feeling that. Seems like it worked its way into a permanent spot in my racks. I have some nice fins for it to glass on and am thinking a wine tint nose panel. Makes me actually want to do more of them... NOT! No really, maybe. It's almost kind of sad to see it move on. There is another balsa blank in my racks though. hmmm
