I have finally gotten around to posting the pics, I don't know why I have been preocupied with other things recently. :)

The boat has a 20" beam, is 45" LOA, and is 13" depth.

The strips are hand-beveled, bookmatched sitka spruce all from one board. The gunnels, stem, transom, breasthook, knees, and keel are canary wood. The rockers are made out of extremely heavy and hard Brasilian Cherry (jatoba).

Both primary and secondary stability are excellent, I believe I could stand on one of the gunnels without it capsizing.
