Fockler Outpost

Life is a journey, not a destination

The pile of bulkheads is growing.

Question about height of Bulkhead #3. Plans show 332...I'm guessing this should be 1032?

My daughter and I preparing to perform a boil test on our Okoume.

Thar she boils!

After a 30 minute boil it's looking just fine.

After boiling, we stuck the pieces directly into the freezer. Still holding up just fine after being frozen solid.

The cyle was repeated 3 times and the only damage was caused by scorching when the pot was left unattended and all the water boiled off! We stunk up the house a bit, but I'm quite happy with the results. This Okoume is pretty good stuff!
