Lapstrake Skiff Workshop, presented by the Model Guild
September 27, 28 & 29, 2012
Friday, 6-9pm, Saturday, 9am-5pm, Sunday, 9am-5pm
Bay History Building
$80 for members, $95 for non-members. All tools and materials are supplied. Pre-registration is required by Monday, September 23. Call 410-745-2916 to register or contact Model Guild Director Bob Mason at 410-745-3266 or email bobmason@atlanticbb.net for more information.

Led step-by-step by skilled modelers, participants will create a 10-inch wooden rowing skiff with lapped side planking and a flat bottom. Class size is limited, with pre-registration needed. The 10-inch model is formed over a frame in much the same manner as a real boat is constructed. Thin toothpicks are used along with fast-drying glue to fasten the models together. Models are made of one dark and one light wood, which are alternated in the design to make a handsome, two-toned appearance. CBMM’s Model Guild welcomes anyone 12 years of age or older to take these classes, and encourages new members of all skill levels to participate in the Guild, use its facilities, and trade model building experience with museum visitors. A special rate for a parent-child team can accommodate younger children.
