It meant that it was an incredibly challenging cleave. But by axe and wooden wedge, us carpenters kept going and got something useful out of it. This was for a ship project that kindled my interest in clinker boat building. All handtools all the fun! 😊🪓 #woodworking #craft #carpentry #handtools #perseverance #skills"

It's all about smart simplicity: overlapping wooden planks that create a hull that’s light, flexible and incredibly strong. With a design shaped by harsh conditions – cold water, rocky shores and sudden weather – the boats are made to be fast, stable and easy to repair. �
