What's up guys -- here's a link to an article I wrote for ESM on local balsa board builder George (Jorge) Robinson. Cheers - Dan

Nice write up, legendary craftsman

I snagged a balsa fish on the for sale forum two years ago. Love it. It is so pretty too.

Great story!

The article is very nicely written.

Hmm, I must have gotten ripped off. My balsa board doesn't have that.

Liked the article though.

I :heart; Q

I feel a huge connection to balsa bills pedigree I just can't afford his gorgeous works of art. You can run out of fingers trying to count the years that go by before anyone would ever sell a used balsa bill board. The same with a Robinson. I only got mine because the previous owner broke his neck.
