Timber

The stringers (longitudinal structural members below decks), transom, and building jig call for LVL (laminated veneer lumber) timbers. LVLs are manufactured wooden timbers primarily used as roof ridges and other structural members of houses. They are immensely strong. They are also heavy and unwieldy when manipulating them singlehanded.

It was not terribly hard to wrangle the LVLs onto sawhorses. A tarp was tied over the stack until ready for use.
