A few photos that I had intended on posting previously.
The first is a view of a board as it looked after being sawn via one Homelite chain saw.
The Second is a view of the tree in plank form. (You might need to click on the photo to zoom in to see it amongst all of the junk in the shop.)
As mentioned, I will be spewing tips for the boat builder on this Blog, so one tip is that the stand for the forms should be very solid. I like the tripod shown because it will not move when working hard on the boat, especially with the extra added weights on its base. The typical H frame stands that hold the beam in one direction and has a saddle for the boat when turned 90 deg are nice but be sure to add some weights to make sure you have a solid foundation for maintaining accuracy with the forms and for the building.
