First weather break in a week allowed for delivery of a Stinson yesterday morning. Clear days, cold temps, it was 2F outside. The recent storm left a nice crisp coat about the Mississippi valley. Thought we’d share the view

Rib stitching requires focus and rhythm similar to playing an instrument. Practice until you can’t get it wrong. The motion is fluid and results are precise while the process possess beauty only human hands can provide. Like watching a cellist play an intricate piece. The musician that masters their piece has a clear sense of accomplishment with pride. A piece well played others enjoy but not greater then oneself whom mastered its intricate beauty
