Both the cradle and the new addition are beautiful!

: I have finally gotten around to posting the pics, I don't know why I have
: been preocupied with other things recently. :)

: The boat has a 20" beam, is 45" LOA, and is 13" depth.

: The strips are hand-beveled, bookmatched sitka spruce all from one board. The
: gunnels, stem, transom, breasthook, knees, and keel are canary wood. The
: rockers are made out of extremely heavy and hard Brasilian Cherry
: (jatoba).

: Both primary and secondary stability are excellent, I believe I could stand
: on one of the gunnels without it capsizing.
