Pardon my ignorance, what kind of wood is that? What a lovely subject - Le Gros Ventre.

So you are prepared to jump into the challenge "Gros Ventre" !!!
A very good monograph from Gérard Delacroix - and you have already the copies of the drawings made incl. dry timber - when we can expect the first sawdust making the keel?

@Gennaro, there is a fairly common tree species called birch, I'm pretty sure it also grows in the Canadian forests.

@Uwek, I have not copied drawings yet, I will copy as needed when the building progresses, the materials were added to dry in May, and it must dry at least a year before it can be adjusted to more manageable workpieces, after this dry about and a half more years to be absolutely sure, I'm not in a hurry,
so, at least a year and a half.
But, I have some other projects to try, fail to practice on.

@Uwek, yes, I know all about it, I have already gathered a lot of information about this ship.
