JOHN,
I will be interested in your progress on this also. I am in the process of rigging a scratch built Kate Cory from Ronnbergs plans previously mentioned in this dialogue. I didn't know they were still available and I have been working on this off and on for many years. I am now in the process of beginning the running rigging. Still have to carve the eagle on the stern and I am in the middle of making blocks now.
Stay in touch and I will be happy to help wherever my limited expertise can provide aid. This project has been in place for so many years that I am seeing many things that would be done differently now as my expertise has progressed. I am also a little obsessive compulsive which I am sure we all suffer from and requires me to keep going back and correcting things previously completed. I just need to move forward finish this up and get another project started.
Good Luck!
Bill

Rigging stain

There was some discussion in recent publications on the use of stain for coloring rigging. As I remember Erik Ronnberg used to recommend Min wax stain and then retracted it due to some deterioration caused by the product. The last recommendation I saw was using liquid shoe polish, black for standing rigging and brown for running rigging. This is what I have been using and it works nicely. Kinda messy though.
