Ribbands and Spokeshaves

Bryan hones
his spokeshave skills.

'Bryan, Ian and Stanayah used the spoke shavers on the frames. Brigith and Chico shaved wood. Rashid and Dan steamed with wood frames to make the shape of the boat. We also made frames for the other boat. Chico also made many other things.'
By Brigith Yanez

It's important to always sign one's work.

Don't mess with Brigith.
