Hi all, this build is something different it is not original to me it was first done on MSB by Mario Rangel, I got this kit on ebay for loke $5.00 dollars as a Christmas gift for my niece ( CHRISTMAS 2019) it is a very simple build should not take me over 3 or for days at the most WRONG it has been 2 weeks what I am doing is using different woods like some very different types then what is normally used (ROSEWOOD, REDGUM, HOLLY AND REDMAPLE ALONG WITH SOME BOXWOOD, all cortsy of DAVE STEVENS AT THE LUMBER YARD) I then made my own parts aside from the hull structure itself, also I did this to get a lot of expeience on my POOR MANS THICKNESS SANDER wit some really excellent results taken some resawn 5/8 inch material and getting it down to 1/16 inch, even though I already have the corect sizes I wanted to get the experience of thickness sanding, there is a formal name to this process and it starts with an A but I have forgotten it so it is pAINTING WITH WOOD the bottom planks are CHERRY, the SIDE PLANKS are HOLLY, the deck IS RED GUM transom ROSEWOOD, and have more to do, here are some pictures to bshow the different types of wood before using TUNG OIL as described by JIM
