Anybody ever built or considered building a wooden boat. I've been considering this a winter project. Looking for input

so is that done in stitch and glue or do you have to frame it up first?Well, of course people have built wooden boats before. The biggest concern would be the longevity of wood versus other materials.
I recently built a fiberglass-over-foam core dinghy. It was something that I always wanted to do . . . I needed a new dinghy, and I also learned a lot along the way. It was more difficult to build than a wooden boat, but I think the durability over the long run will be worth it.
Here is a Pic of the finished product.
