Depending upon the type of ship being built:knarr,byrding or snekke,the basics would have been similar.A knowledgable craftsman would spend much of his year chosing growing trees for timbers,and marking trees to cut.Naturally forked trees provided the ribs,and extremely long ones the strakes,etc.Pine,spruce,oak,ju­niper were all used for specific tasks.This sawing technique would have come about later,all the planks used by the Norse were hand split with axes.Baleen was used for lashing too.

imagine being in an open viking boat in the North Sea. I don't know if any of you have ever seen the North Sea,well I have and it is responsible for destroying modern vessels and massive oil platforms rather easily. I cannot fathom being aboard an open boat out there in that shite, no way ,not for gold,furs ,or any item of supposed material wealth,fuck that! Its funny too my ancestors are Picts, Vikings.Those were some tough assed folks with balls big as a house. Made it to America too.Crazy!!

"Fernalaur" = pork? :-/

Sounds more like "fåralår", which means "sheep's thigh".
