Lovely work Andaman! I plan to build the acorn skiff in solid wood or ply.
This gives a good idea of what she is going to look like. Thanks!!

Dear Dutch,
the first Acorn from which I build the mold was in plywood lapstrake and epoxy glued. I suggest to use for all wood details light Aus red cedar (as in the photo) or similar light wood (depend on your location) so You could not compromise the boat weight.
Good work!!
