Build Your Own Wooden Boat

Curious about wooden boat building? Join us at the WNCWA meeting on June 14th as member Todd Schultz shares his experience crafting cedar strip rowboats and canoes.  Thanks to modern materials like fiberglass and epoxy, boat building is now accessible even to beginners. Todd will cover costs, tools, materials, and the step-by-step building process. You’ll also get to see and handle blueprints, bending forms, and other essential components.  Start your boat-building journey with us at our next WNCWA meeting!

After a break for refreshments, we will have our "Show and Tell" in which everyone is encouraged to bring in projects, new tools, or pictures on a USB drive for viewing on the large screen TV.

 

We look forward to seeing everyone there. Please do not park in the parking spaces directly in front of the building as these are for the residents. When you arrive, enter at the Main Entrance, check in at the Reception Desk and ask for the Meeting Room.  Refreshments will be served.

We look forward to a great turnout!

What wood was used for the Crown of Thorns?
With regard to the origin and character of the thorns, both tradition and existing remains suggest that they must have come from the bush botanically known as Ziziphus spina-christi, more popularly, the jujube tree.
