Thank you very much Bill.
When I began that build, I decided to use 100% cherry wood for many reasons. One of these to show that decent results can be achieve for the body and for the sculptures too. To always buy exotic wood can be pretty much expensive. More differents colors can be use, but in this build, which is the first time I try to use only 1 kind of wood. In Canada and the US, it is easy to get cherry wood. Also among the local woods this is probably the more stable wood we have.
Here are some results for the dolphins. Eyes are glued. Scales are still to be done.
2 sides are correctly shape and the union of the 2 sides is done with a curve.
This is an interesting work requiring concentration, where you need to take your time to enjoy the work. To facilitate the work you must work within the capacity of the tool and do not try to overuse it. I like to finish the parts with diamond bits, it works slowly but it is easier to control what you want to achieve.

Hi Mark, I did have to read a lot to be able to see the entire sequence, but colors are nicer everywhere, and this is very pleasant for the eyes to see nice colors.
Also, I might change the printer under guarantee just because to print I need to uncheck a box, but this has still to be finalised with Canon.
I did my best to try to calibrate with Apple parameters, but the results of a human eye cannot compare with a calibrated spectrophotometer.
May be I should have a calibrated eye!

What was I thinking this morning while having a coffee?
I do not know where to put and I do not want to start for the tenth time a new thread on the subject of rope diameter.
Why the relation between the number of ropes versus diameter of the rope is an hyperbola.
If we add cables one next to the other and draw a graphic to show the relation between these 2 elements, it will be a straight line at 45 degres, both parameters progresses simultaneously at the same rate.
When we turn ropes together, a new factor appears : compression.
The more cables there are, the more squeezing force develops.
This compression force affects the diameter of the cable which increases slower than the number of ropes.
This deceleration in one axis, affects the straight line; brakes it in the direction of the diameter, causing the straight line changes in a curve shaping as a parabola.

I began the second dolphin. I received the last link to be able to process photo control from camera to printer.To take a picture with an DSLR camera, you need to control 2 things : light and color.
How much light is entering in the camera is the white balance, a feature of the camera itself. To control the color, a photo of a calibrated Color Checker passport is taken which is a color chart.
The monitor is calibrated taking into account the ambient light. On the picture the monitor can adjust at a lower height than what his original base would allow. Even if Apple do not want anymore that we remove the base, I did not like the height, so I cut the base and replaced with a better one.
The program Adobe Lightroom, corrects the picture and apply printing adjustments.
The printer, the last component of the chain, also needs calibration. The paper also have a specific profile depending his features. Color Munki Photo is a spectrophotometer use for the calibration of the monitor and the printer. It also can be use as a light meter to measure ambient light in Lux.
To verify the calibration, a print is compared with the monitor and they should look like similar.

thicker planking has to continue upwards in the bow area like Belle Poule, Bonhomme Richard ?
It would not be useful to make it thinner !
It was the french way to protect when fishing the anchor.

Greg,
#11 main handicap is surely as you say difficulty to hold as soon as there is torsion in the blade.
exacto blade has the advantage of the disadvantage of #11 blade.
To make it easy, 2 reasons why I prefer #11 blade:
easier to cut than with exacto because the blade is sharper.
May be I could compare this to be using a veritas plane and an ordinary plane.
Better control can be achieve with veritas plane, and the better I control the blade, the better will be the result!

Mark,
For the 74 guns, there is a copy of the log in Microsoft Word about 540 pages.
For the 74 guns, there is about 1000 pictures, the most significatives ones, around 130 pictures were extracted for the last Collage.
For the last picture, the background can be whatever color you wish, I have tried many colors, but black is the one!
