Picture of the cedar dory I built for the Adarondak Lake country
Boat took over a year to build interrupted by weather (it was built outside) boat is constructed from cedar strips 1/4 thick by 3/4 wide with cove and bead on the edged. I made the strips from cedar planks I bought in a garage sale. The strips were glued together and held with clamps and tacks to a series of plywood frames (that were later removed) Maximum was 2-3 planks a day on each side and then had to wait for the glue to dry followed by removing clamps and tacks and then more strips. It took about 12 hours to sand and was then covered with 1 layer of cloth and West System epoxy on the outside, then the shell was removed from the building form and the inside sanded and also coated with cloth and epoxy. The epoxy was covered with 3 coats of marine spar varnish to provide ultra violet protection for the epoxy. Thinking of building something in the 14-17 foot range next year, looking for the right design
