Real nice colour on the hull

donrobinson got a reaction from FriedClams in Armed Virginia Sloop by PamW - scale 1/24 - enlarged Model Shipways plans
Top rail black walnut, cherry planking, walnut wales then cherry for hull planking. Then the gun port linings walnut, is this what you are saying? If so sounds like a nice combo. All depends how much colour you like, you could easily squeeze in some swiss pear also
My Batelina build is of cherry and walnut if you are curious as to how they look together

donrobinson got a reaction from mtaylor in Work surface
What Wefalck is describing is what we would call a "shooting board" although somewhat oversized to what is normally used in a shop. It is an excellent idea for your requirements. In this case it was used to provide a smooth surface to roll out the dough, pasta or pastry. Counter tops were not all perfectly smooth or made of marble , contrary to popular belief, so this was the next option and at this size it would easily cover a sink increasing the counter size even more.
A good inexpensive solution, and easy to stow away.

donrobinson got a reaction from Eddie in Trabakul by donrobinson - FINISHED - MarisStella - 1:32 scale
Hi Frank and Thanks. I really can't take too much credit for the ladders this is MarisStella's design I just supplied the glue , but it is a much nicer way of building ladders. MarisStella does supply cherry planking with this kit, the final layer of planking on the deck will be cherry from the kit. Some of the cherry I used was mine and I am thinking of replacing the bulwark stanchions with cherry rather than use the kit walnut, still undecided with this thought

Will my cot be on the main floor or upstairs with your wood supply?

Wow Mike, that is awesome!! Thanks for sharing the pictures. Looks like it is going to be plumbed, good idea. You'll be set for life there, you will love it in the country I know I sure do. How many acres?

Good morning Lawrence, and Thanks. I was happy how the hinges turned out, this was my first attempt at soldering so it took a few tries until I got it right
