For the past few years, while I am up at the family cottage, I spend down time whittling a boat. I've made a few now. I was recently up at the cottage doing some work, and brought this one home to finish up.

It kinda has a "Paddle to the Sea" vibe to it. Maybe I'll do some sort of galley next.

My wife an daughter return from China tomorrow. I've done a significant amount of household improvement in the past two weeks. I've also had a number of veggie/banana/milk smoothies for dinner.

Paddle To The Sea was one of my favorite books as a kid.

Your little boat tugs at the ole heart strings, it does.

DUDE! I love that. Colors, texture, shape and all. It's beautiful. I'd love to see more wood work of yours.

Thanks. I don't really have that much woodwork to speak of. I've built a chicken coop, some shelves, and a bench. Maybe I'll take some pics of the other boats. This one is the most complex.
