The planking is looking great! Having never dealt with ebony, I have no input but will watch and learn.
My husband was looking forward to his retirement too. He's (we've) been busier now than ever - aging parents that require full time care pretty much fill up our days. So, here's wishing you a wonderful retirement filled only with the things you desire to do!

Never ceases to amaze me how crisp, clean and lovely your work is!

I never know what to expect when I've been away for a while and then stop by your log for a look.
What do I find? Gnome infestations - possibly global, and coloured ratlines...no wonder you have chest pains!Seriously though, hope you are feeling better soon.
The ratlines are looking terrific...keep up the good work! -
My, but you have been busy since I last looked in. Super job on the planking...she's looking great!

It seems that this summer has been more busy than usual, which means the shipyard has been fairly quiet.
Thought I'd include a couple of pictures of our garden bounty. The cherry tomato plants, that I'm standing behind, went a little crazy this year. I'm 5'7" and they are a couple of feet above my head!
I have a small update as well:
The upper portion of the second planking is complete. I've made and installed the support beams and columns for the fore deck, and the second planking is done on the lower section of the stern - not sure of the name of this part - it's the thick section below the lower gallery.
I salvaged a beautiful block of cherry wood from the wood pile and have been drying it now for a couple of months. I'm thinking of using it for the deck furniture etc.......but first, the rest of the planking.

I thought I'd post a separate time to say how great your Goth is looking!

Okay....this is "a day in the life".......
I came to the computer without my reading glasses and saw that Popeye was next in line for commode!!??
The moral of the story is: if you need glasses to read.......wear them!!!! :D
Although.......it can be more entertaining without them.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome back! I haven't found much time to work on the planking yet.....but soon.

Wow! What a difference the right rope and seizing make! Looking good!!

Paint? Moosehead? Beans? Tents? Sjors - the voice of reason? I've finally seen it all...
Just got back from vacation and while catching up on this log, I came to the exact same conclusion!!!
Don't want to upset the balance, but a few words about the build - she's really a very lovely ship Augie. Looking forward to your decision for the next build!
-
I'm in agreement with all the above - terrific work!
