Building a Northeaster Dory

Many years ago, I had a chance to take some sailing lessons and was able to use the boats from the university's outing club. Since then, I've always wanted my own boat. After looking at the possibilities, I decided that building a Northeaster Dory from a kit was my best chance. Not only could I sail it, but I could row it with either a fixed seat or sliding seat. Building it is only the first challenge; then I'll need to learn sculling and re-learn sailing.

Putting epoxy on marquetry

The sea turtle is coated in epoxy with the rest of the seat.

I sanded the thwarts with 120 grit sandpaper, and then put a second coat of epoxy on them. I also put the first coat of epoxy on the sea turtle marquetry. The turtle doesn't fit as smoothly as I would like, but it is too late now. Hopefully, after several coats of epoxy and varnish it will be OK.
