bigcreekdad got a reaction from CaptainSteve in Good online store for wood.
I've used cherry, oak, and maple from our local woodcraft store for both deck and hull planking. i've attached a pic of one.

bigcreekdad got a reaction from Sea Hoss in Armed Virginia Sloop By captain_hook - FINISHED - Model Shipways - Scale 1:48
I've got this ship on the shelf. May be awhile, but you've pretty much set the standard when I start it. Just a spectacular job!

Just curious...were gun carriages actually painted red? Not criticizing, just wondering.
BTW...your carriages look great!

That's a real bad story!! Wow!

Druxey...Thanks for the concern. I did not at all think you were being flippant. I was wondering if there was something in my writing that caused you specific concern. Actually, I've had, and used, this saw for years. I'm pretty darn careful. Honestly, the thing scares the crap out of me! ...and I give it due respect.

Kurt...and the blade is not damaged by raising it up and through the plate?
BTW...you've been a big help.

Any recommendation for a new blade? I'm assuming you can't sharpen it.
Kurt...I ill follow your advice. However, I don't know how you get a zero tolerance?

bigcreekdad got a reaction from thibaultron in Sealer for solid hull
I'm at the sealing stage of my Smuggler build. Before moving on to deck work, I need to seal the hull to protect it from stains,dirt etc until I paint it later on.
First...any thoughts on sealers? I have some water based Varathane Poly. Is this OK? Also, it is water based. As such, does this limit me to water based paints?
Sorry if this is stupid question...it's my first ship that I will not plank, and I don't paint my planked models.
Thanks/John
