Thanks a lot Ray and Mike!
I have some 5-6 plans of fishing boats from brittany!
Ordered them online at the following online shop

Its made of oak just as the real thing!
First I had to transfer the drawing to the oak profile. The part is 16mm (2pcs of 8mm) and heavy. I will go to our local woodstore next week and ask if they have planks of oak. I need 6 and 8mm thickness.
I need two parts .... each 8mm thick who will be glued together.
Drilled some holes for the wooden dowels used to make everything more stable.
Then its time to glue the two parts together and to hammer in the dowels. Used clamps to held it together tightly. Then after a set time of 10 mins (I use Ponal Express white glue) I started to sand the part and to correct some slight misalignments.
And the finished part looks very nice!
Here a keel part ready to be connected to another one .... picture taken at the Cantiere Navale Rucher, Manfredonia Italy
It was great fun to make this part and I am looking forward to make other parts as nice as this one.
