Thanks all. It took me over a year to get the bow section done...(twice). Glad to be moving on.

The disaster happened on a Wednesday. The following Saturday repairs began. I was able to salvage the stem which broke off fairly clean. I was also able to save the cheeks and rails. I rebuilt the timbers using boxwood which allowed for much cleaner lines. Head was replanked and the unique white trim which defines the Constitution was reapplied.

By the way Jim...I was on FF1087 (USS Kirk) back in the early 80's. Loved steaming those plants.

The rebuild is just about complete. It actually came out better the second time around. Pics to follow later today.

Drilled into the keel Chuck. I believe I used a 3/64" bit.

Constructed the head rails. Third head rail was the most difficult due to the turns it has to make. I used basswood stock to construct these rails which are formed from three separate pieces. The second rail is pretty straightforward. Once the second rail is installed I built the timbers and finally installed the third rail.

Thanks Bill. I seem to have gathered a large stockpile of driftwood over the years. Time to start using it.
