Speechless. I'll take 10 tickets for the raffle. On second thought give me 100 tickets.

Awsome and congrats. Its not everyday in woodworking that you get to make something that is as fun as or funner than the building process. beautiful Job.
I'm no Master Craftsman.
I'm more of a glue it and screw it type of woodworker.
I just don't have the patience to cut M&T's.
I love to build things.
I just wish my wife liked my projects as much as I do.

Very nice job. Be sure to varnish it every year, don't neglect it. The second cedar strip boat I bult is now 34 years old and only looks better for it. Varnish and shade and it will last a very long time, but deffinatly use it.

Costs allot more in epoxy than wood.


QFT! I've over $500 in fiberglass and epoxy and only about $150 in wood in the whole boat.
