So far, the wood used has been “Tolúa”. Which is Ceiba, a tropical wood. For the floors I’ll use Cedar with the same process of weathering - aging Nailing was done in the same way

For the wale, I decided to use “square head nail”. This was done with the same pins but instead to cut them I flatten the head and form the square head, both with the belt sander

The nailing has been done with sewing pins. To the main hull, I cut them. Flat them with a sander belt and blue them. Also I decided to tape the hull in order to protect it. As a drill bit I used one of those pins, it worked really well, and the hole was perfect to ensure the pins. MORE THAN 1000 PINS WERE NEEDED!!

Aging Once the planking is done I proceeded applying danish oil...... Then with a drill wire brush I went to mark the wood as it was a real weathering or attrition..... Then..... with cement grout (not that liquid) I proceeded to “paint” the hull. Wait until it is almost dry. Make sure that the grout is going to all the scratches you made with the wire brush The with a cloth or kitchen towel take the grout surplus.... The result should be lake this...

Planking For planking process I use cieno. Notice the finish of the wale. It was done intentionally and is part of the aging process

Mark I just realized your question. My mistake. they were used for so many porpoises. 1. they were the longboats of big/line ships 2. were used to do many maneuvers with anchors, crew transportation and so 3. When they were decorated and adapted like a “luxury” boat, they were called Falúa and were used like a private transportation boat for high rank officers or royal family yes the length of this boat was like 11-12 mts regards

G Good Morning Today I'll show you how I made "The Pedrero" First.... I made it in wood. This is going to work to form the mold Second....... I use Clay to make the first half Third........ I use high temperature Silicone..... The firs half is ready. I use the first half to replace the clay and repeat the process to make the second half.
