One of Koehler's creations, almost a piano finish!

I'm sportin' wood.
Thanks for the pics. Better to view pics than to actually own one and have to maintain it.

When he buys his dream wooden boat, and the other, when he sells it.

My father in law has a wooden boat. Sticker says made by Hughes Tool. Probably made about the same time as the Spruce Goose was made. It's a
gorgeous thing. About 8' in length. Includes an old gas engine type outboard that you wrap the rope around the "flywheel" to start it. It's either
a Johnson or Evinrude. Old as dirt I think.

Woody,
Here is what he's been up to lately.

He also designed and made the lighthouse on the new Point Loma Seafoods building.

Ken - did you ever get on The Pointe's boat at shelter or harbor island? i forgot which but we had huge parties on it back when the resort was trying
to get built. A 50' + wooden trawler classic beautifully maintained. I believe BG still has it there. Wish i had a picture. Am pretty sure Ty and Mike
B were on it before, maybe Charlie too. It was all for biz entertainment.
12 kts at full power and 8-12 hrs to catalina overnight.

Ken, I have been to those classic wood boat shows, too...always loved the time spent there. Thanks for some beautiful
photos.
"A thing of beauty is a joy forever: its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness."
Keates
"Houses are but badly built boats so firmly aground that you cannot think of moving them. They are definitely inferior things, belonging to the
vegetable not the animal world, rooted and stationary, incapable of gay transition. I admit, doubtfully, as exceptions, snail-shells and caravans. The
desire to build a house is the tired wish of a man content thenceforward with a single anchorage. The desire to build a boat is the desire of youth,
unwilling yet to accept the idea of a final resting-place. "
Arthur Ransome
I suspect the Souix craftsman who fashioned this canoe felt much the same as those poets above.
Gotta love wooden boats!...until the repair bills dull the luster. 
WOODEN BOAT CLASSIC:
How you you make a small fortune in wooden boats?
Start with a large one...
..and in the end..attention to your priorities.

Damn bird just sits presently. I'd sell it if the market wasn't so soft. Next opportunity for biz use is a year away if not 6 mos. Getting 2 hours a
week in it for a year pd for by last client sure was nice tho....while it lasted till oct, but all projects have to end sometime.
Looking for deals but they are scarce in this economy and likely to get lousy still.
If i had more on my plate i'd fly the Sams clinic trips but even those as a volunteer costs a lot.

well they were good parties, fully catered and all the booze as you know their styles.... but at the end most of the guests were the lawyers as you're
aware of things when they were going south....
