I wanted a rowing boat in the style that I remember from my childhood in England and eventually decided to build one myself. After a lot of reading and web searching I chose an Iain Oughtred design, the Acorn 15. For a description of the Acorn 15 click here.

Day 4 - The stem

This is the first part of the boat itself - the inner stem. The timber is Douglas Fir or Oregon from a plank that has been used on several occasions in my house painting activities. Despite this shaky start it is a good clear piece of timber with very few knots. I ripped it into 5mm slices and glued them together on a former.

As the saying goes, you can never have enough clamps!
