Granddaughter"s Boat
- Thread starter beekeeper
- Start date
Thank's guys. This boat is made from "sow's ear" material. I don't think it rates being a "silk purse", but it turned out ok, for what it came from.
2 - 22" cut offs of 1/4" BC pine plywood for the floor
2 - $ 5.00 each sheets of bargin bin Luan
Left over 1 X ? pine boards
Stems and batter boards made from pine and white oak Swampwood and I logged, and milled ourselvs.
1/2 quart left over varnish
1 - $8.00 gal. of returned paint. Lady at ACE remixed the color for us.
Maybe $5.00 glue and ring nails.
Total cost less than $75.00.
Value, "Priceless" :

I'd say that, by the look on the young lady's face, priceless may be a bit low.

What Jack said, Beekeeper. She's a cutie and the boat is great.
P. S. I'm still available for adoption if you feel the need to build more boats.

Man.... beautiful boat... and the material it is made from...outstanding....And how many more grandkids do you have interested? 
Thanks guys for the compliments and the "adoption/grandchild" offers. Right now Mrs. Bee's building permits are being issued freely, and I shouldn't need any more grandchildren "trump cards" at this time.
The wood and my workmanship has some issues the camera does not show. That will make me try harder the next time. "It is what it is.", but my granddaughter is happy with it.
