Acorn to Arabella – Journey of a Wooden Boat – Episode 37: Shaping the Forward Deadwood
With the ballast keel poured, faired and painted, it is now time to start building out fore and aft of it.

Acorn to Arabella – Journey of a Wooden Boat – Episode 36: Flip it all (Faired Ballast Keel)

With everything upside down, we will then be able to work on the deadwood and drilling before we bolt t...
Acorn to Arabella – Journey of a Wooden Boat – Episode 35: Final Cut of the Keel Timber
This is one expensive piece of lumber!

Now that we are close to mating the two keels togeth...

Acorn to Arabella – Journey of a Wooden Boat – Episode 28: Logging Round 2
There are differing ideas out there on what time of year is best to harvest trees for lumber. In our case, winter was ideal. Due to the cold and the lack of heating in the boathouse, we aren't able to work with certain materials such as paint, epoxy, fairing and bedding compounds, etc. All of...
