If you don’t mind me asking what did it cost and about how many hours to build the Compass Rose?

Costwise, I have not added the receipts up.

Time wise, I don't know hours really. It's been many evenings and weekends for about 5 months to get it "campable". I still need to finish it. Literally even, since the spar varnish still must go on. The fenders are another thing to do.

If you'll notice the ugly utility trailer fenders went camping. I have these to mount, once I figure how:

Thanks for the reply and info. From what I recall on the price on the 4x10 red oak plywood it won’t be cheap. And IT does not sound like it would be a three weekend project-)

Tell the working stiff and the Princess Helper good job for me

I recall seeing something like this for American cars back in the 70s, but it didn’t last for whatever reason.
