Recovering dropped steel/iron tools amongst the shavings.
The point of mentioning Steward and McIntosh is that knowing how the vessel was constructed is key to knowing how it can be restored.
Nothing.
No finish.
Thanks again! More fun.
Moisture/humidity change. Inside of the curve dried out/shrank away from it's protective bedding?
Tallow. Oarsman is very good.
Call the Brooklin Boat Yard.
Fisheries Supply in Seattle ships fast with the Post Office, maybe even with slow mail.
There always has been launch service.
I agree with John in post #4.
Nice pram sloop there too. Thanks. Beautiful.
I'd think it would push her along nicely. You'd want more power if she was pushing the Crowley.
Wow. Thanks. Goodonya.
Beautiful stuff. Hello John! Fun!
Buck up, Mickey, and go sailing!
Congratulations, HB!

From that list I'd think tilia or poplar. As with any wood, use air dry and stick with heartwood.
Many Thanks.
Thanks, Ned. We didn't get around to see all of those beauties.
Thanks. Fun.
I believe topsails should be flat.
Thanks, Steven. I just registered for the Small Craft Workshop but when or for how long I can be there, I don't know.
Just after mid-day here. Thanks, John.
Thank you, thank you. Might even get a little rain.
Good stuff. Is the planking as good as it looks?
Thanks! Great.
I have a Stanley and have used it for many projects. Not good in bright light, but I have drawn waterlines working around the boat by quarters, bow around stern to bow and come out right on,...
Thanks for the update. Keep your head up and have fun!
A sharpie would be much more appropriate and can be found in Gardner's book too!
Rainbow. Very nice!
I wonder. When I saw the ad for AD, I called Stan and had a good talk. He was doing ok with a few physical issues. Best wishes to both of them.
Excellent!! and beautiful!
Btw, why don't you like the solid top? I like a lifting lid for top loading, otherwise the solid top looks good to me.
For cuts like that, even with surprising amount of curve, I always use a circular saw. Much easier to control the saw sitting on the stock that control a long heavy stick pushed through a blade.
There are wood stove restoration and sales shops. Google "antique wood stove shops in Maine". See what comes up. Those are the people most likely to know what to do.
Using the model for the Columbia Lifeboat, NG Herreshoff had molds made for boats from 10 to 16 feet (at least) which then were spaced to make boats from 9 to 19 feet, with varying proportions length...
Sweet power boat.
Was the image taken from a photograph?
The pole foremast carries the stays'l tack with a triangular sail above, as well at the three for's'ls, one flying (the stays'l rig unusual pre 1904 I would...
Too much fun. I was once involved in a mixed class start with 87 boats. Fun.
PEGLEG a stays'l schooner? I don't understand the main mast.
Nina was a stays'l schooner as in your drawing, unlike Brilliant.
Steel? Sorry.
Great picture. Have fun, Jim!
Three Cheers!!! Thanks.
"needs attention"? Could be anything. Need to know, but not for me.
I would suspect that the International 500 is tight seamed, not caulked, and mahogany does not swell rapidly. Getting it wet would be the way to start. You could work soap into the seams and then...
Sounds good, Cheers!
