    Lovely, Alex. And now its on to everyone's favorite task...treenailing!

     

    Oh yes Greg, treenailing! I'm not sure how to process with. The Quarter deck and Forecastle have less dimensioned beams and the distance between is less that on the Gundeck. If I use the usualy treenail schema with two nails on each beam then, I suppose, it will be too much. I will play with photoshop to see how this will looks:

    Hi all and many thanks for your replies and likes!

     

    Mark, you question is not easy one ;) I don't have exact example showed scarph joint of margin plank, it is rather my own understanding of carpenters work in those days. Wider planks are seldom simply plan butted, but rather scarped togetter. Margin plank is a wider one... It may be also totaly wrong... ;)

    Hello,

     

    today only a small update, the work going slowly. The fore part of planking was most complicated one, I decide to make them as one piece of three plank to achieve clear rounding. The first image show the principle:
