Spumoni Posted Monday at 05:41 PM #1 Posted Monday at 05:41 PM Hello to All, First time shipbuilder here, 78 years old from Riverside CA. I chose the King of Mississippi for my first build. I am a amateur woodworker and have been making furniture for 20 years. I hope my woodworking experience will help me as i try something new. Looking forward to posting my progress and using all the wisdom on this site. chris watton, Keith Black, JacquesCousteau and 5 others 8
