This week's workshop saw Marianne concentrating on the manual planing of the hull, with some help from Douglas. This is obviously hard and slow work, as is the hollowing out of the hull using a combination of chisels and gouges. Stephen, helped by Loughie and Douglas, worked on the hollowing out. Care must be taken not to crack the wood, or to break through to the outside of the hull.
