Toxic Carrot in The Glassing Room

Here's Some Shots of Grant's New Summer Log that we are calling the Toxic Carrot. This design is the combination of a classic outline with some happy accidents created by heat and time (to create a unique and functional design) :













Grant and I going over the fine details













Bottom - Double channel concave from nose to tail with 50/50 pontoon rails













Deck - Pre-tint. There are also a few shaped in details for function hiding in the whiteness..













Inspiration can come from the weirdest places...A beat up old log modified by heat, abuse and time..













Made for loggin' and not for glassy tubes.
