Oh yeah, I know all about Woody's Fenders. I have them on my French Bike, just the rear wheel, what they call "Chopped Chort", and on my Farmer's Market / Grocery Getter here:



They work well, are reasonably light, and are a great conversation starter. Yeah, I would like to talk to the guy who built that RGP - we probably have a lot in common. I don't build bikes to sell (yet?), but if I did, I would probably use the exact same formula.
