Hi Pil . most probably. have you seen this one ? this one ended up as a coffee table.

Proper job some nice wood work there is that oak you've used on the keel? and is it steam bent or laminated looks good either way

Magnificent, especially for a model built in 2086!!

I spotted that too Barry just I thought I'd resist the temptation knowing you wouldn't lol

that "ringer" is beautiful..........a true scottish fishing boat built the old fashioned way..............I love your others too, but that POF boat is just superb............would have loved to have seen it finished and on the water rather than as a coffee table though.

neil.

Absolutely superb models well done.

Gav my wife asks as NZ is in 2086 can you give us the Melbourne Cup winners for 2013,14 & 15 pretty please.

My apologies she's bad at times.

Gav as you can see Barry is the Joker in this pack ! not sure what medication he's on but I want some

that "ash" pof model certainly is a cracking looking project I'm struggling to decide what sort of boat it is so many traditional boats it could be This photo shows the true colour of the bare wood the previous picture fooled me a little because the timber looked a little grey as if weathered and when the lighter hardwoods like oak ash and even birch are weathered it can be difficult to spot the differences in a photo

Ha Ha Ha That tree that I used was not good timber, it had been trimmed about 30 years ago ,so not so good .. but it was cheap Dont hold me to this, but I think she was built at Dawsons yard in the 60's

Gav I take it from that you have access to or know someone with access to a sawmill ooooh I wish sometimes lol

Being a carpenter/joiner I'm all to aware how wood prices seem to be rocket powered these days its getting so I can't give a quote valid for 30 days as in that time material prices could well have gone up, and significantly too

Yes Phil . Old chainsaw mill, slow but it did the job.here is a pic of the first model boat that I built' 5' long

I have to say that looks absolutely lovely mate.

Excellent Cat well done.
