What could go better with a new set of fatty crayons than a boat to put them in? I have to admit that I can only take credit for the painting on this guy. All of the rest of the layout, cutting, and drilling was all done by my wife. She wanted to do one of these boats for our youngest son, but I wasn’t getting to it very quickly. So she picked up a 2×4 and went to town! Bless her heart. We had a lot of fun working on this, and I think that it came out pretty cute. It was so much fun having her working beside me. Good times.
And the kids all like it, now they have a school bus and a boat for coloring time. What will be next??

Thank you all for the kind words.
Dale,
I went out and measured, and she is 6 1/2” long, but actually exactly 4” wide. So it must have been cut from a 2×6. And the holes were cut with a 1/2” forsner bit.
