Kansas Shad


Deltabravo

Recommended Posts

Started on building a shad. I decided if I could get a laminated combing built I could build the rest with no problem. I used some aromatic cedar I had left over from building my stonefly canoe. It came out ok at least for the first time I've ever tried something like that but could have been better, next time.

Couldn't find any WRC locally but did find some nice clear cypress in 12 ft lengths that were priced reasonably, he even planed them to thickness for me. Got the stringers glued up and sanded.

Working on frames and should have some pcs of them and start the assembly this week.

I love the lines of this boat! I never get tired of seeing one being built. Even my wife, who thinks a kayak is a coffin (she is a little claustrophobic) like the look of this boat.  Enough that she has asked me to create a lines plan drawing of it in color to go on the wall in the living room. Like a 36" long image! Once I get it printed on the new plotter she will have it framed and matted.
