White Oak Timber




This is the biggest white oak tree I could find on the property. It dressed out to be 31' long and came in with a 7' circumference at the base. It is pretty darn straight. I have hopes that it will make a fine keel timber. If not, at least the deadwood and floors and miscellaneous parts.
I continue with taking this boat apart.

Main Cabin Forward Completed

I finally finished gutting the main cabin forward. I've seen boats stripped at this stage and thought, boy, you've got a lot of work to do? Know I am thinking, wow, what a lot of work to get here.

How cool is this?

Lights! No excuses now for not working at night?

Hanging lockers next in the sites . . .





Heads Up! Heads Out!

The bulkheads to the head are finally removed and she's starting to look like a 6M yacht. That is a thought?

Working on sheer plank


Sheer plank being removed. It was 23' long and nearly every fastener was corroded which made removing a pleasant surprise.
