Didn't you have any thicker wood? Think of the rain forest man. Oh sorry, you're in America carry on, Kyoto and all that don't count
for US.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

It's mostly plywood scraps doubled up you silly man...
I am a cabinetmaker/carpenter by trade, and I am fortunate enough to work on some incredibly nice properties. Currently I am working on a 15 million
dollar renovation (which given the value of the US dollar these days may not be that impressive, but it will be a nice shack anyway )
It is amazing how much waste there is on project like these. For about the past 3 years, I have been saving every decent piece of Honduras Mahogany
that I could get my grubby Mitts on and I now have enough for this......

Incredibly nice way to recycle

My bit of mahogany
I made this from Honduras mahogany years ago, I do enjoy a bit of woodwork. I'm looking at plans for a boat for this year as well, not quite that
scale though.

Pete,
I can't resist. What is that? Looks like some kind of innovative hurling stick design!

Pete,
Bit of a thread hijack.
I'm thinking of building a wooden boat as my next project, possibly 12 or 14 feet long to take a sail and small outboard, have you tried these
people?

Cheers Marcus.
This place does the plans and resin for you to make your own boat. They have a few designs, may have something like you are looking at.

The one I'm looking at is just for maintenance at the local fishing pond, bro in law is a member and unofficial bailiff and they have to recover
stuff from the island in the middle occasionally.
