Summary: PODCAST SHOW NOTES - Episode #005 Listener Questions and Comments Jan Croutworst (my sister :>), emailed that she is interested in building a model wooden boat similar to the Swedish sailing model I have that was built by my great grandfather (Adolph Pedersen - boatbuilder from Sweden). There a 2 companies that sell scaled models of hundreds of various models of wooden boats - ModelBoat.com and Blue Jacket Ship Crafters. Check it out Jan - and let me know what you find out! BTW, here's a photo of the Swedish work boat model my great grandfather made in the 1930's for my dad: Also of note: I was able to locate the owner of the "Spirit Canoe" (listen to HOWB #002) that I sold in 2008. The owner paddles it on the Hudson River in NY and loves it. I am really happy to track it down since I put a lot of blood sweat and tears into that boat!
