    This is my first build. Since there are many great logs on this model, I will provide brief progress updates. Due to a "tree nailing" mishap I started over with replacement parts from Model Expo. Btw- it's no more fun to plank this a second time around!
     
    I have the English Pinnace waiting on the side. I intend to display both models together if I'm pleased with the results. We will see.

    Download the pdf here of the carving blank designs.  It shows the designs actual size and also enlarged for clarity.
     
    The crown monogram is the easiest in my opinion and I recommend you start with that one.  You will notice some red lines and arrows on the PDF.....They represent the wood grain and also a cheat sheet for deciding what direction you should slice in and where your stop cuts are located.... 
     
    A more detailed explanation will follow and be placed in the pinned techniques......topic very soon!!!

    I've been working on the boom, gaff and yards lately. All of these were made from square sticks. I made a simple jig to make sure that the spacing of the cleats were the same from the ends of each yard.
     

     
    These will eventually be painted black. .
