Summer 2011 Build

Well, not sure what plans the Army has for me in the coming year.  May include the potential for a move back to the east coast?  I contacted Brian Schulz for an opportunity to get another build in if the planets could line up again in JUL 11. Brian is a dynamic artisan and kayaker that I have come to know over the past 5 years.  I met Brian through ordering a faux bone paddle in 2005.  Great paddle and I enjoyed the weight and the tips until rolling in Hawaii one of the tips snapped off.  Brian stands behind everything he builds or coaches others to build and I received a replacement for the paddle when I visited him in 2007. Spring of 2008 provided my opportunity to build my first SOF w/ Brian under his expert coaching.  I followed up this past May with another build.  I have the necessary skills to do this on my own, but I enjoy the company and the shared experience of building in one of Brian's classes. 

Hopefully the Army will leave me in place or enable me to move later in the summer to get another opportunity to build again with Brian.  The decision now is which replica we construct......Harvey Golden may have the answer.
