I have had enough with these tests, time for the real deal, the big show. Off the the basement for a stick of Alaskan Yellow Cedar, smell the love!
I really didn't want to mess this up, if i need more of this wood its almost more expensive to have it shipped than the darn wood itself. For all of you building on the west coast, Up Yours! (grumble, Grumble)
Since my first test frame had been #1 why not start there with the first real rib, here it is the first cut, its on now.
a quick trip to the fridge for some liquid courage and before i knew it i was polishing it all off.
Alaskan Yellow Cedar (AYC) is way easyer to work than the cheep pine i had been using, you will also note in the above pic that i have left room for the chine log notch, i will cut that by hand after the frame is glued and sets up. All that's left now is some sholess dancin' in the shop!
Thanks for passing along the blog on Marks project. Looks like a good one. Interesting that he can get away with building it in their house. Would not fly here. Hope all is well. Regards. Skip
