It’s easy to use the phrase “lovingly crafted” when looking at a wooden boat in good shape. This magazine is done in the same spirit. It celebrates wooden-boat building and the mindwork that applies thereto. Technique, attitude, inspiration, humor (and occasionally lying) are all attended to in traditional-yet-not-stodgy articles adorned with classy photos and drawings. The advertisements are classy too—they’re a great source of rare tools and materials.
