SomethingIsFishy Posted December 6, 2023 #1 Posted December 6, 2023 I received my second wood kit recently… I almost put it on the shelf to work on after I finish my Armed Longboat, but I decided to crack it open and get started. I figure if I get tired of one boat I can switch to the other one and do something completely different… I started with the stand on my other build, so I figured I would continue that trend and put the stand together for this one… I decided to dress the stand up a bit with some mystery wood from what was advertised as a Constructo Mayflower kit on Facebook marketplace but turned out to be a bunch of bits and pieces from at least two different kits, mostly wood and assorted fittings… (definitely not as advertised, but also definitely worth what they were asking for it).

Your lobster smack is looking great so far. And I really like what you did with the stand.
