    The mast dowels are oak, and the caps and rails are maple....everything else (cleats, planks, and crosstrees) are bamboo.  The mast coats are white vinyl painted black.

    Hi Dave. Hope your poker night was profitable. I love the deck planking and gratings, as well as the tops. This is going to be one beautiful model when finished.
     
    All the best.

    Whilst we're in this sharing mode, here's a little collage of the tool caddies I use to keep from going nuts reaching for the right tweezers, snips, file, knife, pliers, hole drill, saw, or whatever else we tend to accumulate over the years.

    Got in some real good shop time since last update.....
    Finished up the tops, including ripping out the oversized knees and replacing them with smaller scale.
    Created main and mizzen masts, fitting and staining them and stepping all three masts.....

    She is now tall....I do like shots from high above....

    Close in on one of the completed tops....note that I widened the rails on each side where the deadeyes will be fitted (builders choice).

    Shot of the fitted main mast....

    Catching up here Piet. Read the story about your father twice....tears both times. God bless you my friend. As usual, coming to your log is like a breath of fresh air to my old bones.
    Cheers
