I'm restoring an old Merrymeeting Bay sculling float, some new planks, a few ribs and a transom. I found a sawmill that can provide me with a piece of white oak for the transom. But it will come to me green --- only recently been sawn. Can I work with wood for the transom that is green...

I'd like to find a reasonably priced BBSB project boat I can bring back to life for my grandson. He's not yet old enough to hunt but will be one day. In the meantime, I'd like to put a mast on it so he can sail it until he gets his hunting license. I'm in Massachusetts, willing to drive to...

I have a collection of old cork decoys that I continue to use, but some are beat up --- cracks and even small pieces of body missing. Does anyone have advice on techniques and materials for repairing cork decoys? Thanks, Lou

Now available: Custom ?Push Back? roofs for TDB?s that offer headroom for comfortable sitting and shooting. The roof flips back when you stand to shoot. I treasure my TDB Classic but I found the standard rain roof confining ?- not enough headroom. But hunting without the roof exposed me to...

I'm building a new roof for the blind of a TDB 14 foot classic. I'm missing a key measurement -- the width of the blind at the top (right to left). Can anyone help me out? Many thanks.

I recently bought a used TDB -- it's a good boat, but tight inside with bags of decoys. So, I thought I'd try putting decoy gunnel bags on the outside rather than inside. Here are some photos. I haven't had it in the water yet to see how it affects handling but my guess is that it will probably...

I encourage members to support new rules that would expand hunting opportunities on federal wildlife refuges. The rule has been proposed by the Trump administration (Department of Interior.) I'm enclosing a link that allows comments to the proposal rule. In my area, the hunting acreage on the...

I have a Merrymeeting Bay sculling boat that needs some repairs. Anyone know of a boatbuilder or sculler skilled in repair work? I'd like to find some one in Maine if possible. That's where the boat is. Thanks.
