Hey Tim ... I know what you mean ... moving is the pits! I'm happy now we're here though!

Lovely stuff, David! Love your build ethic and aesthetic! This one will be fun to watch and those are a wonderful wood combo. Thanks for sharing and congratulations on the new home/shop. May it be blessed with peace as well as positive and creative energy!

I'll get on the "good to see you back" bandwagon too. Nice shop. I always enjoy following your builds.

David,
What wood do you use for your linings? I'm going to try solid linings one of these years.

Hey Tim ... I laminate two pieces of 2.7mm poplar together (after they're bent) to get 5.2mm thick liners. My son and I just made a cheap steam chamber for making snowshoes, so I may try steaming the full thickness soon and see what happens.

I like the way the side braces are incorporated into the linings!

Good eye, Tom! That's relatively new for me, but it makes sense structurally!

Looking good David, it's great that you are building again.

I am looking forward to the TAMCO build.
