So the Loma Kai has a story, which you can read on the first page of this thread. Inside the Loma Kai, there are two exposed spaces between the top of the interior wall and the roof where the matting/bamboo start. Commodore has the idea to "fill" that space with hand-carved panels depicting the story of the Loma Kai. He's measured the shape of each of those panels, and come up with 4 templates. The assignment: Each of the 4 brothers must design and then hand carve a panel showing a particular part of the LKS&G's story. Great idea, and great way to let the immediate family be part of the build. Here's the templates:

The first panel would show a close up of the LK in it's hey day. Here's Commodore's suggested vision in his own drawings, which will be open to interpretation by the carver. That one is going to Paul.

Next is the LK in action. That one is going to me.

Next is the LK being destroyed by the great storm, going to Robert.

Or maybe something like this:

Last would be the flotsam of the LK washing up on the shores of Sunset Cliffs, going to Mike.

So, each of us will need to secure the wood, build a panel, then draw out and carve the corresponding theme. The panels will the be mounted to the interior of the LK. This project will take us a bit, but updates soon.
