Ben, ya made me laugh! That's what happened to you in Vegas right? :)

Man, I can see it.

You're tired and hot and sweaty at the end of the day... just finishing up the canoe around sunset and all the beautiful people are coming out of their hotels to dinner and casinos just reeking of perfume and aftershave...

You're full of sawdust and splinters... reek of oil and gas mix and they're just all staring at you...

"A canoe, huh?"

"Does it float?"

"Where ya gonna float it?"

"Ya gonna go fishing in it?"

:D

I totally know how you feel Ben... and I'll never do another carving demo at a craft fair! :D

I still want to make one of these though... still looking for the right log.
