At this point (about May 2005) I was fortunate enough to get Wade Smith to help me on the restoration (I traded a boat for his knowledge, muscle and skill).  We fastened on the garboards and he (more than me) made a new stern post of white oak and re-bolted the dead wood forward and aft with bronze through bolts.

New sternpost with bronze bolts and shaft drilled.	Old sternpost. Can't find the picture ^%$#*!
Floors out.	New floor timbers going in.

Covering Boards are off.  Deck is all yellow pine 13/4 t thick.  Found some rot on top of fashion timbers and  top strake starboard.  The original Yellow pine covering boards were fastened with copper boat nails as is most of the deck.

Covering Boards coming off.

Opening up stern deck to see how fashion timbers look-- need work, sometimes you wonder why you look!
