Building ORCA - Episode 2: Cutting the keel and other large timbers

This week is a big episode for us here at Tips from a Shipwright, we're headed back to New England Naval Timbers to saw up our log and get the keel and more for ORCA! We're buying this log run-of-the-mill that means we pay for the whole log no matter what we get out of it. Our goal is to secure at least one large quarter-sawn timber for the keel but we also expect to get several more large timbers from this same log that will comprise several other pieces of ORCA. We're going to work together with the sawyer to saw this log the way we want so we get just what we're looking for.


Lot's of exciting news on our ORCA rebuild project coming soon and we will be returning to our V-Bottom shortly also to flip her over, finish the planking and get her in the water for some sea trials. The fun is just beginning, stay tuned for more!!
