As you can see from the Contents, this book places particular emphasis on planking, as well it should. Study the photos and pay attention to what's written and it will guide you through the process from making the form clear through the finishing.
Here's a peak inside the book...
And remember, these pages are 8.5" x 11" so you'll get a really good look at what's going on. The book uses two boats for illustration purposes. The one in the photo at the top of the page was the first; the other is a Harbor Skiff that incorporated a foredeck, floatation chambers, and side lockers that her fisherman/owner requested.
You'll find all of this in 76 pages and 89 photos and illustrations.
