: I've followed this thread religiously for a while now. Everything
: on this boat is done incredibly well. The builder is cutting no
: corners.

Have been reading some old Woodenboat magazines lately, been sorta laid up with a gum infection (about as much fun as you'd think) one article was about the Milwaukee, WI built schooner, 3 masted great lakes boat. One thing that got me was the stem was laminated of 32 layers of 3/4" white oak, 24" thick :) Had to use a fork truck to pick it up.
