Wood Quiz: This osage orange bat is a spring side project for Graham. Osage orange is also called horse apple, hedge apple, or bois d’arc, and it’s typically used for turning, tool handles, bows for archery, furniture, and in our case, its also been used in the Bantry Bay gig. Can you guess where we’ve employed it for boatbuilding?

Yes, we use the big, practical ramp next to the building and it’s super handy. Here’s and a couple of Apprentices gettin’ it done. This boat was built a few weeks ago by a class… it’s what we call a “Peapod Dory,” and the lines were taken from a barn find. More about that on our YouTube channel.
