Hi Rob, Thanks for the screw idea!
Mike, As you said it will take a long time I think as some parts require the removal of 1/4"
or more of material. That's a whole lot of sanding and filing.
Ok the planking in board is complete. As I mentioned before I used red heart.
I also cut some thin veneers to line the inside of the gun ports. I did not think
far enough ahead for the sweep ports so they will be painted red to match. They
are so small I don't believe anyone will know the difference.
That is except for all of you.

Hi Chris. I’ve played with it a bit. It is as thin as water. The best way I found to do it on
something this large is to use a cut up cotton tee shirt. Using rubber gloves of course I
dipped the tee shirt in the dye squeezed the excess out and then rubbed it in. At the ends
I did tape it off and used a small brush to better control it. I’m very happy with the way
it came out. After it dried I also installed three rows of planking below the wales. That
is the extent of hull planking I will do.

Thanks for the tip Mike. Now I just have to “accidentally” tear a sheet so I can give it a try.
Had a good stretch of time in the work shop. I have been planking above the wale.
Very straight forward until I got to the sweep ports and gun port openings. Then I
had to notch the plank. It was a slow process of take a little off, check, take a little
more and recheck. After several times it worked out.
Now its time to plank the starboard side and then a bunch of treenailing.

Rusty the work so far is superb, had to laugh at the T shirt stories. I have found that an old worn out cotton bed sheet works very well and is also lint free. One sheet provides a lot of 12 inch squares of rag. no dangers involved in procurement either.
Merry Christmas to you and family.
Michael

Hello Rusty.
I was looking around the house last week for some lint free cloth and could not find any anywhere.
Until I came across my wife's clean old underwear.
Thinking she won't miss one pair I cut it into little pieces that was ideal for applying stain.
Worked a treat
U won't tell will u ??
Antony.

Thanks Floyd. It's really fun to do.
Nothing really exciting to show all of you. I have cut the wales from cherry and installed them.
Once they are sanded I will be coloring them black with Fiebings leather dye. This will be the
first time I have used it so this might be interesting!
I have depleted most of my ebony and will probably discontinue using it anymore. It’s bad for
you, I’m not religious enough about wearing a mask and it’s just messy.
As far as the rest of the planking goes I will be using Boxwood. The plans show planking
only above the wales but I may put two or three rows below the wales too.
