Rustyj Posted May 5, 2020 Author Share #301 Posted May 5, 2020 Hi Glenn, Sorry for the delay but I had to first shake some cobwebs loose. I took the lengths and pattern right from the plans. It's a four plank shift and the plans show the joint locations. I marked the bulkheads and got my plank lengths from there. Hope this helps. mtaylor and Canute 2 Quote Rusty "So Long For Now" Current Builds: Speedwell Completed Build Logs: HMS Winchelsea 1/48 Duchess of Kingston USF Confederacy , US Brig Syren , Triton Cross Section , Bomb Vessel Cross Section, Cutter Cheerful, Queen Anne Barge, Medway Longboat Completed Build Gallery: Brig Syren , 1870 Mississippi Riverboat , 1949 Chris-Craft 19' Runabout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted December 30, 2020 Share #302 Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) Hello Rusty! Beautiful Cheerful build! I’ll be using your build log when I get to mine which is waiting on the shelf for me to gain more experience. I do have a question, what wood did you use for the deck and is there a finish on it? I just love the bleached look and I’d like to go that route on my build. Thank you for the info!

Rustyj Posted December 30, 2020 Author Share #303 Posted December 30, 2020 Hi Rick and thanks for the kind words. The deck was planked with holly. The cheerful is a wonder model and you should really enjoy it. mtaylor, Ryland Craze, Canute and 1 other 4 Quote Rusty "So Long For Now" Current Builds: Speedwell Completed Build Logs: HMS Winchelsea 1/48 Duchess of Kingston USF Confederacy , US Brig Syren , Triton Cross Section , Bomb Vessel Cross Section, Cutter Cheerful, Queen Anne Barge, Medway Longboat Completed Build Gallery: Brig Syren , 1870 Mississippi Riverboat , 1949 Chris-Craft 19' Runabout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted December 31, 2020 Share #304 Posted December 31, 2020 (edited) Rusty, Thank you for the reply - much appreciated! Now the question is, where can you find holly? It seems to have all but vanished. Thoughts? Before starting on Cheerful, I need to get at least 1 build under my belt, and that’s where Chuck’s Medway Longboat comes into play. More to come later.

Rustyj Posted December 31, 2020 Author Share #306 Posted December 31, 2020 Sorry but I really don't know where you can find it now. I only have a little left from what I bought many years ago. Enjoy the Medway. It's a great choice. Thanks Don, You really can't go wrong choosing this model. It's great fun and a good learning experience!

Rick You can get Holly from Gilmore Wood Company, but you need to mill it into the proper sizes yourself: https://www.gilmerwood.com/categories/38-boards-and-blanks/products?utf8=✓&filter=Holly&category= Freebird, mtaylor, Canute and 1 other 4 Quote Brian Mystery project coming soon!

It won't be cheap mind you as you are shipping a chunk of wood, but they usually have some good pieces of American Holly in stock.
