Yeah, the old yellowstone of mine had in and outwales of quartersawn doug fir, with blocking of ash, throughbolted with stainless. I had the ash in inventory, and ripped and steambent a vg fir 2x6 to make the wales. Otherwise, all the interior verticals I made from ash, the horizontals I made from 3/4 oak plywood, all varnished. T'was pretty and a very wonderful rowing boat. I think Jerry Daschofsky had or has one. The problem with it for me was hitting rocks...the hull itself has a very thin layup, and it's no fun around here sitting on your garage floor in January with a hair dryer trying to get epoxy putty to kick off. I do miss this boat.
