All is made of basswood stained with natural stain. Note that some of the gun implements are stored in racks attached to the awning structure. I will make the awning itself next.    | ||

The only difference is that the awning is stained a light tan with coffee. Hoffman (the draftsman of the plans) says the original awning was probably a linen canvas. I won't even try to duplicate that in miniature. Gene | ||

I will try to sell this one to one of the several museums around the Valcour Island area of New York (where this vessel was sunk). If they are not interested, it will be on sale in a local antique shop. Gene | ||
