<p>Mark, I'm really looking forward to the rest of your project. I have a Don Hill that is an about the same shape that I will be doing so I will be anxious to watch you deal with various issues. Thanks for taking the time to share.</p>

<p>Thanks for the advice, that seems like a good idea. I was just concerend about raw wood but it is covered and kept out of the weather between work sessions. I plan on keeping the post going tho the process may be slow at times, between fishing, cane rod building, eventual boat cover building and all the stuff keeping a 5 acre home going.</p>

<p>I'm commenting on your blog entry in part just because I know it's fun to get feedback on things on this forum. Your boat looks great . . . I too am a first-time owner of a wood drift boat. Having been a design/build contractor here OR/WA for the last 17 years, I can say that I always regretted stepping the process of re-finishing anything. I know its really tempting to finish out one section and see how it looks, but I would say that the reward is greater (and process is easier and faster in the end) if you strip/sand/prep it all, and then finish all together. It will lengthen the process quite a bit waiting for the multiple coats required of any finish to dry out before you can move on with sanding/prepping your next section . . . even with an oil finish.</p>
<p>I hope you keep adding to your blog post as I always learn a lot by watching the progress of others. And . . . it feeds my fishing bug during the winter while there's still snow on the ground here (and we have no winter run to speak of here this year).</p>
