Of Bowsprit and Mast

While I was in Colombia, my Dad cut some nice fir from the property, shaped it, sealed it and varnished it. Here it is bolted (loosely) to the bow. Isn't it amazing looking?
He also bought a really nice, long piece of spruce for the mast -- 18 feet!  Now we begin the process of shaping it, tapering it and making it round.
