Thanks Patrick, I should have explained myself better in regards to the camber on the Aft Deck. I saw a Buzzards Bay 14 at the wooden Boat show (Seattle ) with the camber as I had done this time ( I liked the way the deck planking sat on it ) This one will not have radio gear, and will free sail as the first one did. I am considering bumping up the scale to 1" = 1' - 0" so that radio gear could be installed .

Well, I finally got back to work on the Herreshoff. I started by detailing the Cockpit section , this time around I was able to get the frames cut deeper . ( this was something that I wanted to do the first time around ) I then detailed the frames for the aft Deck ( with the correct camber ) next I added a nice pice of birch ply to the Transom and stained it a Cherry Red. then the Frames were installed into the Keel. Next will be to Fair the Frames and get her ready for planking. Here are the results

Looking Good Patrick , Beautiful work

Thanks Omega, There were a few things that I wanted to do differently after I had done them on the first one , and the mast step was one of them

Today, I started by truing up all the frames , Next I glued in the first 4 frames then built the Mast step , I then attached the 5th frame ( or frame 7' - 6" ) ,   this was one of the things that is easier to do now rather than the way I did it on the first one . Next will be to detail the cockpit frames and install them. All the connections were glued with Titebond 3 ( waterproof glue, as she is being built so that she will be able to be sailed ) Here are the results

Absolutely Beautiful work Nils , she looks fantastic

Pete

I have not done an update for a while, the truth is that I got side tracked on the Herreshoff 12 1/2 . I decided to try out the Keel revisions that I had done. ( after building the proto type ) I will have an update on the Buzzards Bay in the next day or so . Here are a few pics of what I have been working on, with the Buzzards Bay 14 in the foreground in photo #1

Incredibly amazing Work Michael,

Looking Good Piet, have you decided on a color scheme for the hull 

Best Regards,

Pete

Thanks Cap'n'Bob, She's starting to take shape, 

Thanks Patrick, Shes got Beautiful lines as do most of the Herreshoff Boats 

Thanks Michael, The Bass wood is 3/32" for the frames and 1/8" for the Keel. Everything is cut out by hand with a X-Acto knife #11 blades.

Pete

First Happy New Year, Today, I cut out all the frames and set up the Keel to accept the frames , Next will be to detail the frames ( seats deck camber etc.) The first thing that I did differently than the first one was to lower the cockpit floor . I am pleased with the way this one is turning out. The frames are just dry fit into the Keel  Here are the results

Hi Nils, to start the new year , I have just started a Herreshoff Buzzards Bay 14 ftr.

Pete
