And that one is entirely glued with epoxy.

That's a beautiful dinghy!

Perhaps I should make one like that, for the experience. I'm doing
this as a prelude to making a hard dodger on my sailboat. It won't be
a lapstrake dodger, but perhaps the skills will be beneficial. I don't
know if I need to invest so much time into woodwork skills.. Perhaps I
do?

I really plan to make a fiberglass hard dodger and bimini, with smooth
lines, hard windows, and some wood trim.
