Looks great with the torched edges. Brings back great memories of squirrel hunting. Wish I could still do it but I don't think I'd eat a squirrel anymore so I'll just watch em play.
I don't eat it either but they look great! I once built a small row boat for my daughter to use as an ice chest for canned drinks at her wedding. It probably took 40 hours and it got used once. At least your boats will get more use than mine.
