David Slättne - Black Pearl

Thursday, July 26, 2007, 1 comments

Hi Björn.

After a healthy dose of sweat, a tear or two and even a drop of blood (from carving the seat) my pearl floats steadily, as can be seen, in lake Sommen. It is built "slow and dirty" as Peter Bengtsson in Åsaso well put it.

Great thanks for advice and inspiration and to Petrus with family who stubbornly stopped me from tearing down the half built kayak in frustration over my more or less imagined all thumbs (OK, at one occasion I was too quick for them ;-).

This is my first woodworking project since a cutting board in elementary school, and it was inspirational. Next will be a Njord, since this is a lake of many Islands.

Regards, David, Tranås
