We're back from a short break and boy do we have some exciting news, we've finally found the timber to get started on our biggest project yet, building ORCA! In this episode we head to Bristol Marine to look at an old NOVI so we can get more information about the shape of the hull and other things. Then it's off to New England Naval Timbers to find the right white oak log to start building the centerline. That log will include the keel, the horn timber, and several more parts of the boat. We are looking for material that is clear of the heart and quarter sawn. Next week we're headed back to get the log sawn and then we can take our timbers back to the shop and get started building ORCA!
