Homemade "dinghy" pics

I started work on this wooden kayak back in the winter of 2006 and have been working on it off and on ever since then. I recently spent a week pushing to get as close to finishing it as I could. It's not ready to go touring on, but I imagine I could still use it to paddle back and forth to shore.
