Jan Hadley responded to a post in the ACBS News which asked, “Have you kept a log of the restoration of your boat? Please share it with some pictures.”
I keep a restoration photo log of each boat I restore. The 1929 Dee Wite I recently finished was a major challenge, requiring close to a 90% wood replacement. Although not exactly an “as original” restoration, it was done to the owner’s specifications.
