Rawl has refined his skills and expanded his impressive knowledge of wooden ship construction by concentrating on the fundamental elements of his craft; a craft which he defines as "the art and mystery of shipbuilding." Twenty years in commercial/industrial design and build construction has prepared him well for understanding the nuances of the efficient management of time and resources. Twenty-four years in the shipbuilding trade have allowed Allen to combine his passion for maritime history and extraordinary skill and versatility into building such impressive re-creations as: the miniature ship, (Maryland) FEDERALIST, the English pinnace SUSAN CONSTANT, the Dutch pinnace KALMAR NYCKEL and two brigantines, EXY JOHNSON and IRVING JOHNSON (in progress.)
