| "I carved this name plate for
a 120 year old yacht. Heartse was used in the Atlantic Ocean between New Zealand,
Polynesia, Vanuatu and the Eastern coast of Australia. The boat was used as a
customs boat and was the fastest boat in the water prior to motor's being used.
It is a 54 foot yacht with the hull carved out of a single cowrie tree. The
original name plate was hand painted and didn't fit the new decor after renovations.
I have used Jultong wood for the name plate, a Indonesian tropical soft-hard wood.
