More from the Murphy Ranch - Fins

My Favorite fin block of all.  One of Dan's creations.

The tool of choice.  Band saw.  It was sitting there in all it's glory. I couldn't resist.

Alia's favorite place of all was the shaping bay. She was fascinated with two things. First was the foam and the next were the fin blocks. Here she is playing with both.  As her usual artistic  self she quickly assembled the fin blocks to make this heart.

Dan explains to Chris how he makes the fin blocks. Really time consuming and amazing work.

Another fin by Dan.

Our trip to the Murphy Ranch was amazing.  It was also a little overwhelming. There was so much going on. We had the Grain board, Dennis' personal quiver (we'll get to that later) and lots and lots of stories.  One of my favorite things though were the fin blocks that Dan Lewis is making. He has found a true passion for fins and as you can see he is coming up with some amazing designs. Enjoy.
