Here, instead of laminate I decided to curve the wood by
skarfing due to its hardness and difficulty in finding
thinner strips of wood.
My wife Teá and me.
My neighbor and friend Darci Motti and my granddaughter Julia
visiting the yard.
The job is done.
Affixing the floor supports. I chose a very strong wood
called "Ipê."
Affixing the sides and bottom.
The back side is fixed and is being sanded.
Friends are always visiting and helping.
16 February 2009 Update
Here you can see the front side screwed and glued. Notice the
gap between the front and the back side - this is because the
difference between the size of plywood sold in the USA and
sold in Brazil. Ours measures 220cm by 160cm so we had to
make the junction.
The hull is planked and glued.
