Devlin boat detail pictures

I took a bunch of detail photos of Sam Devlin boats when I was in Olympia last month. Would any of you be interested in having me make an album of some of them? What details are you interested in? I know I look at different things as my building project continues.

 

On kind of a related topic, I've got a bunch of photos of tug boats if you're interested:

Dug-out Canoe Question

I'm hoping somebody will be able to help me find info on dug-out canoes.  We bought a home in so Cal and discovered the canoe hanging from the rafters in the garage.  This is the first time this home has been sold outside of the family since it was built by the owner in the early 1960s.  We have alot of stuff to go thro but the canoe is the most interesting find so far.

 

I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks!

Marc Pettingill has a book that shows you in detail how to build his Sweet Dream design. This is the 14 foot version. It's a great canoe for quiet paddling in a marsh, or quiet rivers
