When coming up with the wood design for the Great Auk I saw a number of boat photos using what I call a lattice detail. The detail uses small, alternating color pieces of wood oriented perpendicular to the planking, creating an eye-catching accent. Well that was the plan anyway.
I thought using this lattice detail in the curving section of the hull would look great. And it would have but after getting exactly two pieces completed in 2 hours, I thought different. It was going to take way, way too long and since I had promised my wife that she would have the boat for the 2020 season, I went to plan B.
Plan B still used the lattice design, just in a straight line in the flat part of the hull.
