These cut outs are rather small at .980" x .484" or 24.90 x 12.32 mm . We would have liked to go a little deeper but the lower decks fore and aft put a damper on this idea. We also completed the transom, painted the inside and cleaned up the outer starboard hull planking . Regards Lawrence  | ||

I wanted to show how these seamen lived aboard for many months at a time. My Grand Father commanded an fishing schooner in the early 1900's as did his father before him. So this is just a we bit special tribute to them. Regards Lawrence | ||

We thought that we had the answer but it turns out that that stain needs a conditioner, so for the time being we have painted the port side of our BN with a mat black and a copper paint that we had on hand. This copper seams on the dark side and almost looks a bit like gold. We were hoping for a little more of a reddish tinge, but we will leave this for a day or so. We have also dry fitted and pre shaped the rudder. But will wait for our decision on the copper paint is before doing so. Regards Lawrence  | ||

We have lined the chair rail so to speak in a stripe of cherry wood. We have assembled the upper half of the aft cabin and paneled it with strips of maple and cherry wood. We have also built and installed the set of stairs from the cabin deck to the aft deck. We have look at the cabin door frame and have decided that it is just two fragile to be able to install 2 sets of door hinges, this is where we are now. Regards Lawrence    | ||

Today we have completed building the two cherry wood doors, hinges and handles. We have also varnished the upper inside of the aft cabin and painted the outside white. Regards Lawrence    | ||
