I wish my old professor and friend, Robert P. Creed, could have seen this. He often talked about Sutton Hoo in his courses on Beowulf, and closely followed any new developments in Anglo-Saxon ships/building. Here's to you, Bob, and carry on Sutton Hoo folk, who, with each axe stroke, bring back the memory of my mentor!

A really interesting insight into the techniques used to build the ship, and the reasons behind them. Particularly the piece on the benefits of cleaving wood to make planks rather than sawing. It's good to see that quality and historic accuracy over-ride speed of construction. Great work.
