I thought the group may be interested in a couple of photos of Dave's  
boat under construction. One thing I can say it Dave took a lot of  
time to make sure it was done right.

Some of the cedar strips. I think the deck strips are the ones on the  
bottom of the stack, and are is excellent condition:

A couple of shots of the strong back, early in the process:

From the bow. You can get an idea of the care and quality Dave put  
into building form this shot:

Sanding and cleaning the 1st coat of west, prior to classing the hull.  
You can get a good idea of the rich color of the wood form this shot:
