Plywood is in the house

 Plywood turned up whilst I was working out of town, just in time for Christmas :).  On pallet was 9mm plywood, Douglas fir CNC parts and Purple Heart for keel.  

The plywood, Douglas fir, CNC cutting and Purple Heart is all from west wind hardwood https://www.westwindhardwood.com/custom-milling/


I’ve knocked down the pallet, next will be sanding, trimming and sorting. 


Plan is to seal all internal wood before assembling anything.  I know this is the most efficient method but seeing all the parts it’s very tempting to pick out the bulk head pieces and start on them.  I will sleep on it.
