Four Fins and a Tail Block

I have been making some fins out of these really beautiful pieces of old growth redwood that I have saved over the years. This tail block has been kicking around the shop for a while and I am not sure who made it but it looks like a Paul Kraus creation. He is the master at beautiful glue-ups, combining redwood and balsa for tail blocks, nose blocks and T-bands. These were all sitting on the table together the other day and they looked great so I snapped a picture. Jake
