Yeah... that's a great way to put it... and they are still "very proud of it" :-)
But, as I have read out here a number of times... the cost the wood is really not that significant in terms of the overall project.

Thanks for the info... I'll ask around Gloucester next time I'm over there. Speaking of which , nice place over there on the York river, "York River Yacht Haven," if you're ever over that way.

I put down some 6oz woven on the sole today, the 50" fabric overlaps down the center right much, about 36" or so is doubled up,( a lil more protection from those bottom sinkers) I have a couple wrinkles and spots to fix :oops: , mainly from the splice in the aft section of sole, after fighting the woven to get all the wrinkles out Im shocked thats the only spots I have.

Just a lil prrogress

Looks good Daniel, I've missed seeing your progress. I'll be back to working on mine in a week or so.

Light woven was a pain on the larger areas I had to do, that had to be tough. My areas weren't half that big.

Looks good.

If you get lonely staring at it by yourself, let me know. :lol:

I've been trying to get back to work on the boat, the economy put a damper on my build over the last year or so, but I'm slowly getting back on track, now the weather is slowing me down,

Time fly's, had to go to page 5 to find my thread, with the kids back to school I've started fairing the inside of my build, I'll post a pic of that soon, but today a friend offered me a lab pup, and I couldn't refuse (she's from a great line of gun dogs), now I've got a yellow and a black 8O . Just what I need, something else to spend time on :help: .
