Skin-on-Frame: frame *Pic*

Hi forum I just finished my frame enough to pull it out and get a picture.
So here it is. I used Cunningham's book to go by. I did a little changing
like the back of the coaming is about 34" back of the center. The widest
is in line with my hips. I also kept the stern fuller. I did use Cunningham's
book for the rib gauge and all sorts of measuring and jig information.
I used ceder and cypress and the frame you see weighs 25LB 8OZ. I got
nylon from Cory Freedman at the Skin Boat Store. The length is 17'4 the width is 20.5".
Next I got to get the skin on this boat then I can have some fun.
