    Default Last pics...because it's finished!

    This is the last post on this project. I've learned a lot making this, especially about bending wood. Also, the head was a challenge. I'm posting a few pics, including details of the head. I'm moving on to the next challenge...

    Default How to build a viking ship

    For all those curious how I did it: There are no plans....outside my head. I made no notes, just had an idea and followed it. I've had to start over with the hull, but that's the only failure on this project. I drew the head myself, following some guidelines I found on the internet on how to draw a dragon's head. So those who want one will have to search somewhere else... Sorry guys! I also thank my wife for her craftmanship for the sail, which I did not do myself...

    It was such a pleasure just to watch you build this boat Leo. A great build from a true craftsman(and woman not forgetting your wifes handy work)
