Dude, make a template for a LMB as well. Start selling them on various kayak sites and watch the extra cheese roll in! Nice work!

Nice pattern. Instead of wood, for the inlay, you can purchase sheets of Mother-of-pearl veneers that you can cut patterns out of and set in the teak for a nice design. Definitely fits for the marine theme.

How long are the side boards? A ruler would be nice, with mother of pearl for every hash mark.

that sure is some beautiful work Lipripper92592!
Jarrod & i were just talking during a run to SD Bay how I am still temped to do a Abalone veneer inlay on a pressed up collage of exotic hardwoods that comes out looking akin to a multiple stringer Takayama..
I wonder if its possible to lay a strip of actual fish skin and keep some iridescent patterns that hold up to the finish coat like a skin stretched mount?

People make fishing rods wrapped with carp skin and snake skin i dont see why not doing it on the boards.
