Creative Boat Made From 1200 Wooden Objects


Boat built using hundreds of wooden objects including rolling pins, hockey sticks and a guitar is unveiled.


Other parts include acoustic guitars, a violin, a didgeridoo, a tennis racket, hockey sticks, a toy helicopter, a children’s train track and a Victorian police truncheon.

And hidden among them all is that famed little piece of the guitar which rock legend Jimi Henrix played in 1960.


Each timber item was donated by a family or individual to represent their own personal story and have now been assembled to form the 30ft long hull of yacht.

The unique vessel is the brainchild of artists Gregg Whelan and Gary Winters, who appealed to members of the public to come forward with wooden objects that they would like to see included.

Amazing. I wonder if I could build a boat out of wood stuff from the Salvation Army?
