This is one expensive piece of lumber! We wanted to make sure that we accurately cut the keel timber to shape so our initial cut was only getting us close to the final shape, so that we could see whether it warped/checked/shrank etc. afterwards. Now that we are close to mating the two keels together, we get the wood keel to it's final shape except for the fairing from the rabbet down. This fairing will be done after the rabbet is cut, the deadwood is shaped and the two keels are ready to be bolted together. Which is soon!

Thank you for watching and following this amazing journey we are on!
If you would like to meet us in person, we will have a booth right next to Jamestown Distributors at the 2018 Wooden Boat Show at Mystic Seaport from June 22nd to June 24th. We hope to see you there!

Acorn to Arabella is a boat building project taking place in Granby, Massachusetts. Steve and Alix started as amateur boat builders building their own 38' wooden boat in their backyard: designer William Atkin's Ingrid with a Stormy Petrel's gaff rig. These videos follow the journey from tree felling, to lumber milling, to lofting, to the lead keel pour and beyond—sharing details of the woodworking, carpentry, metal smithing, tool building, and tool maintenance that wooden boats command. This ultimate DIY project will continue well past launch, when they will travel and learn to cruise aboard the boat that they've built. Just kidding about all that, this channel is about a Siberian Laika named Akiva.
