Re: Is that all wood?

It�s all wood except for the printed Coat of Arms. It was really easy to do. I am no genius or master crafts man, heck it�s only my second boat. I haven�t even finished my first boat yet, and it�s been like 1 and half years on it. Boat two really has gone together quickly though, I have been working in it for maybe a month. This weekend I hope to have them both finished, and then I�ll take some more photos. The veneer was really cheap. The ribbon cut maple was 20 bucks for 10 sheets all the other veneer was leftovers from boat number 1. I got the veneers from my local Rockler store. If you need more info on how it was done I can take some picture and stick it on the web. I have found it easier to tape the entire veneer together on the top then glue the entire thing down at once. On my other boat I tried to glue each piece separately but contact cement kept creeping between the joints.
