Stuntflyer Posted November 7, 2014 Author #105 Posted November 7, 2014 (edited) John- Thanks for the kind words. Overall, I had a great time building the Longboat. There were times that I thought I had taken on too much for my first project and wanted to quit. I am glad that I didn't. Chuck and Bob f. Were a great help when I needed it. I suggest that you check out both logs before you start the project. If I can be of any help at all don't hesitate to let me know. Good luck!

Stuntflyer Posted November 10, 2014 Author #107 Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) Ryan- Thanks! I'm really glad that you enjoyed the read also. I'm still waiting for a display case. The plexi box that was ordered from Cases For Collectibles www.casesforcollectibles.com was drop shipped to Bluejacket who will make the base. The wood is unstained cherry that I will finish myself. Unfortunately, I don't have a table saw though it is definitely on my wish list.

Beef Wellington Posted March 1, 2016 #108 Posted March 1, 2016 Mike - I just ordered this kit, and you build log will I'm sure be invaluable. You did a really magnificent job, well done, the planking especially came out really well and certainly good to see what is possible. Very nice indeed.
