Work commences!

I decided to go with the 5 ply common grad plywood that was available in town. Bought it. Brought it back to where we're staying for break. I have to get the pieces small enough to get on the plane to take it all back into the bush. So I went ahead and started laying out the pattern on the ply and cutting parts for the boat. The work went really fast. Still really happy with what I'm seeing in the plywood. No gaps to be seen anywhere in any of the plies. Today I got all the sides cut. The thing that stood out to me as I butted them all together to see how they look, was just how LONG this canoe really is!
