Re:Will's Wherry

Thanks folks for the kind words about my Cosine Wherry. This was my 1st endeavor at boat building. There were times when I wondered why I  ever started, but I was too far along to quit. The Hull is made of light and dark Western Red Cedar with an Alaska Yellow Cedar accent strip. The gunnels and seats are of White Ash. The transom is marine Mahogany plywood. There are 2 layers of fiberglass on the inside and 3 on the outside. I used System Three resin. It took me 398 hours for the project. The oars are made of Sitka Spruce  with Mahogany strips and White ash tippets. Just for fun I'll post an album with a few construction pictures later.Yes, the picture was taken in Depoe Bay, Oregon at the 2002 Wooden Boat Show. This years dates are April 24th & 25th. See you all there?
