Not mine but a "proper" one, a full-size BA boat with split oak planks and yew withies to be built at the Maritime Museum in Falmouth, Cornwall.
http://www.thisiscornwall.co.uk/Archaeolog...tail/story.html I hope to participate a bit although a health problem after Christmas will severely limit me this year. Starting in April after intensive preparation the build should be in the workshop of the Maritime Museum with public viewing and participation. |

Exhibition nearly ready to open and they are getting the boat build stuff in place.
"Cornwall and the sea in the Bronze Age" starts 13th April. Nobody has asked me to play with the boat build despite me asking but I shall spend a lot of around the place anyway! Edwin |

I should have thought to post that link, thanks. I can claim to have been standing behind the barrier while the filming of that piece was going on.
