Karl Mueller replied to Russ Tuter's discussion 'Why not Red Oak'
My understanding is because it has por rot resistance unlike white oak and as such is not a boatbuilding wood.

Bartender Restoration Progress

Some of you might remember the "Bartender" at the wooden boat show this past year that was in need of a serious gutting. At that time I had removed one frame and was in the process of replacing it. Well, I have been hard at work and have replaced 10 of the 12 frames in what amounts to a near gutting of the boat. Thought I'd update with some pics even though it is a stinkpot:…See More

Very surprising, I have placed 5 or 6 orders with Larry Steeves at RAKA and have nothing but great things to say, about the product and about the service. I placed an order a couple weeks ago and spent about 30 minutes on the phone with him helping…

Yup, sounds familiar. Solution: Ask for Larry everytime. I don't know who he is hiring these days but they have clearly been out in the florida sunshine a little too long. I think their products are good, however, they made mistakes on two out…

A wise man once told me, "now remember Karl, boats are like dogs. A poor man is allowed to have as many as he wants." Heck, my income stream is so modest it wears a burka and i have two myself. Greg-if you got the itch to build a big…

My rebuild will actually be completed tomorrow so I am in position to say, "hang in there, it be better before you know it!!!" This is the crappy part, but it sure is nice when you are over the hump. I hear you on the ring shanks...I had…

Karl-
You've got a good memory. Unforunately I'm going to miss the show this year. I was really looking forward to rowing in the parade. That was a really cool piece you wrote about Frank. His oars look really good, you know he spends a lot more time fussing with the details than a factory does. Guys like Frank seem to be few and far between these days.
Enjoy the show it looks like you'll have good weather again this year.

Thanks.

Karl,
Hope you got out this weekend... I had a little too much work going on. A favor to ask... can you help with "shuttle duties" on Saturday at the Boat Parade... guys are going to drop their boats at Finn Rock put-in and take their rigs down to the Lodge. After you drop your boat, could you do a run if necessary? I'll be up there at 8 a.m. with coffee... I'll buy you a coffee and a beer at lunch (I'm racking up the debt!!).
Thanks,
GH
