    Hello friends,
     
    Thank you all for the compliments and the likes.
    And a warm welcome to Ulises, Denis, Piet, Richard and Sean,
     
    It is high time for an update, however small.
     
    Glued the lining onto the interior of the frames.
    Made an offset in the lining in the areas coinciding with the support for the crossbeams.
    Cut the crossbeams to size.
     

     
     
     
    Planked the forecastle deck.  In contrast to the waist deck, I decided to simulate caulking.
    For this I used India ink fro Faber-Castell (PITT artist pen, black 199 ***).
     
    It is a bit getting used to, because the planks are so thin. But it looks better with than without the caulking.
     


     
     
    Dry fitted the forecastle, the sections of the hold deck, the sections of the quarter deck and the crossbeams.
     

     
     
     
    So far, so good. To be continued..........
    Thank you for watching,

    How wonderful of you to finish Augie's Confederacy. You did a first rate job. I am working on my own Confederacy and have a question. What finish did you or Augie use on the deck? I love the warm color. Is from the finish, a wood upgrade or both. Any help greatly appreciated.

    Hi Jax!  Thanks for the comment.
      
       The warmer wood on the deck is Swiss Pear.  Augie substituted some of the original wood with the swiss, and a couple of smaller deck fittings with Boxwood.  When I did a little bit of refinishing early on after taking over the build, I re-sanded much of the deck, then really rubbed in a couple of coats of Tung oil.
     

     
    Then, I used a little bit more Swiss Pear in a some smaller areas (particularly the ships boats) to try and tie some of it in artistically.

    My thanks to you as well Moonbug....Augie was most welcoming when I first joined MSW so it great to see his Confed finished so beautifully.
     
    I am also sure, as Dave just said, that he is smiling down from on high somewhere.

    Rest in peace Augie.
     
    Cheers,

    This has been such an inspiring project to follow, both for its backstory and the quality of its craftsmanship. I didn't know Augie, I'm too new on this forum, but after following this project I will always hold a memory of someone so respected by his peers that this project became a reality. And I have immense respect for a builder who takes on such a responsibility, and does such a memorable job. Thank you for this.
