West Baton Rouge Museum’s build-a-boat event begins Friday
It’s not often you get an opportunity to build your own watercraft by hand. West Baton Rouge Museum will host a boat-building class whereby participants can register either as an individual or as a team to build their very own boats. Participants must pay for their own materials, which can cost up to, but not exceed, $1,400, including a $50 deposit.
The class will be led by veteran boat builder and boat restoration specialist Ron Blue, who will guide participants as they construct a high-quality 4-by-8-foot pram-style vessel out of marine plywood, white oak, Spanish cedar, cypress and white pine.
The program begins Friday, July 16, and runs through Sunday, July 25, with a five-day break from Monday, July 19, to Friday, July 23. Click here for more details on registration, pricing and more. West Baton Rouge Museum is at 845 N. Jefferson Ave.
