great video! thanks. My understanding is that the US Navy still maintains a private forest of white oak, like in Indiana, strictly for the purpose of refitting Old Ironsides. I didn't know about these other wood pens. Good stuff. Will be interested to see that dead wood fitted. thanks, Chuck
They're fairly rare! Since this boat is going into our fleet that we use for our rowing and educational programs, these boards are going to good use, too!
Enjoy you're trip. Hot dipped galvanized nails are tenacious.
Amazing story about the Navy wood pens.
What I would do to replace my rotted, iron sick deadwoods with some of that wood....
Another great episode. Well done by all and really liked to see the young talent in the shop! Life lessons to be learned here.
Thanks, Bill!
Best video yet! Your interaction with the youngsters is something they’ll never forget. Good on ya mate
Cheers!
Bravo Zulu

Hi, Chuck! We’ve got the new video up and I made sure to have an interior shot with the deadwood in there for ya. -Anne
Ha, I didn't think they made wide pine planks like that any more! :-)
