This is frame number 1 in the beginning stages. The frame members are being planed and cut from Quartersawn 5/4 white Oak heartwood. This wood is one of the best, if not the best choice for boat frames. It is rediculously hard, stable, and rot resistant. The frames will be impregnated and completely encapsulated in high grade marine epoxy, so water will never even find the pores of the wood. These frame members will be joined with gussets, which are plates cut from 1/2" marine plywood.
