There were details on BARBASHELA that reflected the care and pride of craftsmanship that went into her construction, with one detail being the small coves that were cut into her risers and thwarts. There was also a gentle curve to the aft seat and rounded edges, there is no place for sharp corners on a small boat. Also the tapered and beveled frames drew the eye and well placed limber holes drew the water.
The truss frames served to provide strength and support for the amazingly long floorboards. It was a treat to get to work with this old growth timber that was shaped by master craftsmen.
