I want to do this, but cut it out of regular wood. Life size. However I know nothing of wooden boats. I would like to follow the traditional chris craft design.

Googling this just sends me all kinds of designs.

Does anyone know the shape specs?

Is this mahogany? Is there a less expensive wood that looks as good?

What is the stain/paint type?

Lettering. I often see Gold Lettering on the back. Almost looks like gold leaf. What is this?

I found this company, but a bit much for the size
