Build your own Plymouth Rock'r Rocking Boat, the nautical version of a child's rocking horse, inspired by the design of the traditional Banks fishing dory. In building this glued lapstrake dory, students will learn how to shape the bottom, stem and transom; determine bevel angles; and spile and shape planks. Students will also fashion the breasthook and stern knees, as well as the seat and rockers. Students will complete building their Plymouth Rock'r in this 3-day class.
