Episode 3 - Bolger & Beyond + A Barge Called Corncake

In this episode we take a break from building our Newfoundland Trap Skiff to go to Southwest Virginia and meet with local boatbuildier, David Reece. We talk boats and life and get to tour his 24ft plywood barge. We also give some background on the plywood boatbuilding tradition that David comes out, looking at the designs and legacy of Phil Bolger, Jim Michalak, and Dave Zeiger. Become a patron!
