I know that I can speak for a handful of guys on the site and have to say that you really can't fully appreciate the craftsmanship unless you see his work in person. It really is amazing. He brought a legal pad and a Tropic Star calendar down to Panama last year. UV and Mike have sereral of his works.
Great job on the cookbook. Bob was really excited about it when he described it to me down at TSL last year. The pictures of the progress really put it in perspective and prove that Randal really does other things other than surf.

Stunning Randall....thank you for the link. I was going to put something rude about it being not too terrible but I'll wait 'til we meet one day to show my true colors....and I remembered that picture of Buddy Holly on a legal pad you posted...which I thought at the time was very well drawn, not realising that the whole thing, pad and torn curled pages and all, was sculpted from solid wood. Just fantastic....are we going to see something related to 31s ever?

Nic - since he did it for me I'll chime in (thanks again lil' buddy), it's all wood, hand painted....it sits on the coffee table at our camp next to the real paper book and I love to watch people pick them up and marvel.....Also have his Pinas Bay, Panama chart, a couple of legal pads, and the first one he gave me, a leaf...... Randall is just over the top. One morning in June at Port Eads Randall was wading knee deep down the dock from the (air conditioned, hey?) regrigerator box I'd bunked him and Ric in (high tide, sinking dock) and a big ass alligator was following him. I had my huge .44 magnum Ruger revolver strapped to my side and took aim at the 'gator, but Randall out ran him...that afternon Stan the Helldiver hand fed the big gator fish scraps.
But Stan and Crazy Al Walker are....crazy guys....ya'll remember the video Al had of the under-the-oil-rigs spear fishing?

Nic - nope, the wood book and the paper book look exactly the same until you pick them up, and even then some don't figure it out. We had some guests at the camp recently and one was an artist, let her look and her comment was "this guy Randall Rosenthal can't be mortal - no one can do this".....sho' nuff he can, and he can surf, and catch fish. One more reason we are the Few, The Proud, the B31 guys. A bunch of people with very multiple talents, worldwide.

I'd like to echo those exact same comments.Rocket wrote:Randall, I am awestruck - I'm sure that you know the effect that you have on people, but you mus have a very interesting brain that organizes images in a way that I can't comprehend. Wow. One day I hope to be able to afford something that you have made.
Thanks for posting, i really enjoyed looking.
There was a picture posted here a while back, of a sketch on a notepad of Buddy Holly along with song lyrics. Everybody was gushing over it and I was thinking: well it's certainly a nice sketch... but I don't see what the huge deal is.
Then I saw the finished cutting board pictures too, and I had the same thoughts, but was even more perplexed as to why everyone thought a photo of a cutting board and a pad, some veggies and a knife was so very cool. I accept that I'm not much of an artiste, but hearing guys rant and rave about a photo of a cutting board really tested my imagination as to why.
Didn't know I was looking at pictures of wood carvings. Duh
Thanks for clearing that up for me, and NICE WORK! I get it now. Unforunately the better half saw them too and liked them too and now she wants one. Do you give discounts to us poor folk who blow all our spare cash on Bertrams?
lets see....people who blow their spare cash on bertrams...i am somewhat familiar with that concept.....not to mention a lot of "spare" time.....my wife, caren, has been pushing me for years to put a progress page on the website and because of the response i am very glad we did...speaking of which this web site would not exist and you would not be able to see my work without the the total helping hand of the meanest of the mean team.....mike
a few years ago mike asked me if i had a web site and i said no...his reply........"you're an idiot...i'll make you one".......its really what this place is all about and what separates it from all the other boat sites
the truth is i get way more positive reinforcement than any human needs but getting it from folks i actually care about is different and sincerely appreciated............thanks

Randall:
My older, and somewhat brighter, brother practiced medicine for 20 years -- when his malpractice his $150,000 and his investments hit a slightly larger number he went to law school. He now defends doctors in malpractice cases. Only does 2-3 a year and enjoys life like you would not believe.
He says he was a "high priced plumber" when he was in the operating room -- he says now he has learned how to think. A little over dramatic, but he makes an enjoyable living now!
