Third Frame

Today we finished the third frame of the boat, and finished another bow. That’s all we did, but it was pretty productive.

Vocab word(s)
Double sawn: When two pieces of wood are cut into the same shape and stacked on top of each other to make a stronger frame.
Loose futtox: a piece of wood nailed to planking so more planking can be put on.

History lesson: The original Virginia had a loose futtox design, but the new model will be completely double sawn.
