When that moment finally came, he began turning raw lumber into a traditional wooden skiff — combining generations of boatbuilding knowledge with clever modern techniques. From vacuum-laminating the white oak transom and shaping the hull by hand to building a layered V-bottom reinforced with fiberglass, almost every stage reveals a different solution to a difficult problem. Along the way, Louis relies on carefully selected timber, laminated structural parts, custom fittings, and small tricks learned through decades of working with wood.
