My wife Jenny pointed out that it only took me 20 years to do it (that’s how long I have been gathering speed parts) but I put the frame for the skiff body on the frame today. I will be able to fit the steering box, make patterns for the doghouse firewall, and do some some other layout calculations. Sorry to say I will be out of town for work for the rest of the summer and won’t be able to make more progress till the fall. Still, it’s fun to have them together.

When done, it will be covered in mahogany strips.

Looks fantastic! That looks like a really fun project. The planking will look super cool. It will have a “antique aero/marine look”.

You might find jatoba to be more affordable than mahogany.
