After annoying the folks at the local exotic lumber yard (the wood is exotic not the yard) I managed to acquire enough mahogany to cut and layup the blank for the keel! My original thought was to use teak but the cost was nearly 3 times as much as the mahogany. If I screw this up I will only feel 1/3 as bad.
The Okume arrives today and the plan is to make the butt joints this afternoon and hopefully start laying things out this weekend.
Hopefully Andrew will get to come see his (pre)boat with his mom this weekend.
