Here are a few pics from last weekend showing feverish activity in the woodshop. Discovered the fifth of these Colie Rowboats. (Any other name suggestions?) The one with the best cedar is being varnished. I think two are spoken for. Call Tom for yours.

Check out the semi-planked bottom. I’ll ask just why it’s done that way. Interesting. I think the Shop’s just big enough for five.

Pick of the litter. Green bottom I hope. The others will be painted in appropriate Kirby colors.
…
Pick a date. 1939? 1951? 1969? The years have been kind to photographers at Beaton’s.

A good view of the way the stern is tucked up. This makes it a delight to row and able to carry a Grandkid on the stern sheets. No adults and no outboards. Though a small electric trolling motor might serve. Hmmmm….
Expect to see them in an advance state of completion this weekend. An early May row perhaps?
