I finally scanned the pictures of the cradle-boat that I built last year for my nephew.

It is loosely modelled after a mackinzie driftboat, the father (my brother) is an avid flyfisherman. I took a basic design from a double transomed dory, and modified it to look more like a drift boat.

I used 1/4" mahogany plywood for the hull, and some mahogany boards for the rockers, transom and gunnels.
