I agree with Rusty. Don't fight it Glenn. Based on the many build logs here at MSW and elsewhere, for a full size vessel Chuck's is the gold medal winner.

Post One Hundred and Sixty-two.
Woolding the masts
The kit indicates use of 0.5mmø line throughout.
According to Steel the wooldings for the Fore and Mainmasts are of 3” circ line, and that for the Mizen 2½” circ.
This equates to 0.37mm and 0.31mm scale diameters.
I used 0.3mm and 0.4mm cotton line from Modellbau Takelgarn in Germany.
Wooldings are generally 12” deep which scales to 4.76mm.
The method of applying as shown on the kit plans is the recognised approach to take, and will be familiar to readers of R.C. Anderson’s wordy but excellent book The Rigging of Ships in the days of the Spritsail Topmast 1600-1720
I wouldn’t be without it.

The line was dyed using Colron Jacobean Dark Oak wood dye which gives a less black effect than commercial black rigging line.
The final touch is adding the wooden hoops that contain the woolding.

These are simply made using very thin strips cut from a Manilla folder.

Mostly due to the size and available (or I should allowable based on my wife’s review) display space I’m really trying to convince myself Speedwell is not my next project. With each new innovation that gets harder and harder to do…..I mean, to scale door handles and books on a table in the cabin, wow.

glbarlow got a reaction from Canute in Yellow Boxwood from Model Expo
Not all of us have high praise, I think they’re a junk company that proudly lists kits based on stolen IP from China.
As Chuck notes The Modeler’s Saw Mill is an excellent US source for wood. I recommend you replace what you have with Alaskan Yellow Cedar (much less than boxwood and easier to work with, though boxwood is amazing). See my Cheerful or Winchelsea build log for more photos on how it looks planked on a hull. Then toss that junk away after sending MS a demand for refund (which you likely won’t get, but you’ll feel better) and post a nice Google Review.

This is simply not true with a quality brand - perhaps some cheap brand might. CA is not universal, there are quality differences by manufacturer.
