In Nautical Detail

This maple carving board with stripes of sapele and 316-grade polished handles is great for carving fish, Thanksgiving turkeys, or boring olÌ_å« veggies. Looks great on a boat or in a lake house!



How I Was Made

Day fourteen of a windless ocean left me stranded a few miles off the coast of Myanmar. I hadnÌ_å«t eaten in four days and the still water, like glass, brought no tidings of aquarius eats. A storm cloud approached from the east and like a what I thought was a shadow of a cloud turned out to be a miracle: a school of fish, heading right for me.

Thinking fast I grabbed a net from the edge of the deck and waited. Waited a bit longer. I let the net go and with a large splash there was a frantic disturbance in the shadow in the water, and when the foam cleared, I saw it. Three single fish caught in the remains of an old fishing net. Dinner was on.

I carved away on the deck of my boat as the storm clouds brought enough wind to push me inland. With a heavy stomach and a light heart, I strolled away back home to get some well-deserved sleep. The next day I took a piece of the deck and made a carving board to remind me that even when the storm is coming, it can bring good tides of change.

Cheers.
