Model Dories and Display Case
Oct 24, 2012
Woodworker: Frank Murphy
Murphy’s father taught him to make models of Lightning-class sailboats and ’30s speedboats, but it was The Dory Model Book by Harold “Dynamite” Payson that inspired him to build these three dories from Western red cedar and mahogany. In turn, the dories inspired the spalted-maple display case, 11 in. deep by 24 in. wide by 24 in. tall. Finished with shellac and lacquer, it has a removable base for resting on a tabletop or can hang on the wall with a French cleat.
