Today I visited Lumber John to get some Ash for the missing oar as well as some Hickory for a non-boat job, and dang it all, he had a beautiful stack of fresh cut Walnut.
Walnut has a weird smell that might be a hallucinogen. Before I realized it, I had a pile of it in my truck.Here is a boatload of hardwood that's too heavy for building boats, but it will make some nice trim pieces.

Mississippi River Skiff update: The boat is formed. The glass and one set of oar locks arrived. The hull will have a laminate of 9 oz glass with Kevlar below the waterline. The interior will have 6 oz glass all set in Raka epoxy. http://www.raka.com/ The transom will be installed tonight. |
