South West Scotland. Viking boat building

[Night Phoenix]

I am involved in a local non-profit community based viking boat project. We have been busy building a viking boat using traditional and authentic methods along with modern ones. This is a small project with a big scope for events and could be making many appearances at viking shows.
If anyone is interested in traditional boat building, crafting or are just curious and in the area then there is opportunity for people to come along and find out what we are all about, join up to do as little or as much as they want.
If anyone is interested to learn more please feel free to message me and i can send further details.

Great project. I was pleased to play a part in them just getting funding for an apprentice.

How about posting some pics of your build?
