Building Wooden Ships
My name is Roy Busse, a new member. I have a hobby that I would like to share with anyone interested whether established or brand new. I build model wooden sailing ships. These are not ships in a bottle. That pursuit requires skill and patience beyond my reach. These are scale models anywhere from a few inches to almost four feet long. I display mine in glass cases, but they cand be displayedon a mantle piece, or anywhere you would like a beautiful decoration. Anyone interested feel free to call or text me at 518-461-9248.
I look forward to meeting you.
