Don-Art Posted July 22, 2022 Report Share Posted July 22, 2022 Nicely Done, just out of curiosity what is the wood that you are using? Keep up the good work always enjoying seeing your work. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekeeper Posted July 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2022 Most are built with 1/4" exterior pine plywood with white pine lumber for the framing. Using common construction materials allows me to keep the cost within my "for fun" budget. We have gotten good service out of the boats with reasonable care. I like building with traditional "by hand and eye" method with no fiberglass or epoxy. Marine plywood is better quality, but much more expensive. It would be easier to work with.

Don-Art Posted July 23, 2022 Report Share Posted July 23, 2022 Nothing wrong with something that works for you and you find satisfaction in it . That’s what matters. I have to admit that your photos of your work do inspire . The pine plywood is very nice , I didn’t notice any knots. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekeeper Posted July 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2022 Most of the knots were on the inside, hence the paint. I picked through lots of sheets to try and get the better ones. Quality of wood/lumber today is pitiful. Hard to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
