The Huon Pine board

The timber work was done by Pat Lyon at Currumbin Wood Works.

Dick Van Straalen shaped this beautiful Huon Pine board for Carl Tanner to add to his impressive collection of boards

Dick admiring the outcome.... nice

A great result from a collaboration of mates with a desire to build something very special and rare.

Dick Van inspired fish

Tony Crimmins from Brisbane has just sent me his latest board to share. It's a 7ft fish that was modelled on his 7ft 6" Dick Van Straalen . Tony said he wanted  it to be a bit shorter and have a bit more curve in the outline, so he made it half an inch wider and pulled the nose and tail in about a quarter of and inch. Its now ready to head off to the glasser.
