When resolving to tackle the restoration of an old wooden boat, the owner must ask a couple of questions. Should an attempt be made to preserve as much of the original wood and components as possible Or should all old and deteriorating wood be replaced and the boat be remade as a nimble craft that's also safe and seaworthy In a time when show judges seems to prize original, if compromised, construction above all else, renowned boatwright Don Danenberg makes a compelling argument for the latter approach. While explaining the techniques that he has used and developed over the last 30 years, Danenberg presents an entertaining text that guides the reader through the entire processfrom surveying and disassembling the boat to steam bending wood, fastening planks, and applying the final coat of varnish. Danenberg even justifies his methods by describing the properties of wood at the cellular level in layman's terms. In addition, color photographs depict the tools and techniques that are used, while humorous School of Hard Knocks sidebars illustrate the fact that even a master craftsman must sometimes learn the hard way.
