In Response To: Re: THANKS!!! (Peter Robinson in Oz)

: My 12yo daughter has pretty much the same idea. I had considered a sof for
: her since they seem so quick to build but she wants nice looking wood on
: the deck. I think I'm going to try and use veneer instead of stripping the
: deck pattern because everything she has come up with so far is way beyond
: my stripping experience (zero at this point).

Went home after work last night, and my daughter showed me her latest sketch. This one is doable. It's an Orca whale stripped into the front deck - light deck like cypress, dark chocolate WRC for the Orca (or some other dark wood) with the lighter Orca spots being a bleached Pine perhaps. Looks very doable.

But, still doing research on boat designs, and types (Stripper, vs. SOF vs Hybrid vs. S&G). So far, she's only interested in the stripper.
