GuntherMT Posted October 23, 2016 Share #32 Posted October 23, 2016 The downside to using Titebond III vs. original Titebond, is that if you need to take parts apart (which I have to do all the time), you can do this with just water if you are using Titebond original, but Titebond III is waterproof so you'll need to find out what sort of nasty chemical is needed if you have to de-bond anything.

PamW Posted November 1, 2016 Author Share #35 Posted November 1, 2016 (edited) Ok...wood and saw parts are on the truck for delivery....tracking is a wonderful thing. Came into work a bit early to start the pattern making process....yes I have been slacking, but I have been cleaning up the shipyard so building will be more efficient.

PamW Posted November 3, 2016 Author Share #37 Posted November 3, 2016 Wow...accomplished way more than I thought I would this evening.......woo-hoo The first poplar plank is 48"x10"x3/8"......so this should give a good idea of actual size. Now to find a nice Lil band saw for at home. The last photo is the walnut. This wood I got from Ocooch hardwoods in Wisconsin seems to be very good stuff.

PamW Posted November 3, 2016 Author Share #38 Posted November 3, 2016 Ok....ideas here....I don't wish to paint anything here....if anything stains. So selecting woods that work together might be tough......the decking is teak.. That's set.....keel, stem, rudder...walnut.....now, my terminology is bad here so bare with me. Top rail, few planks below that and below the gun ports black walnut, gun port planking cherry or plain walnut.....and main hull planking cherry. Is this way off base....or might that work? Suggestions, critisms, tell me I'm goofy..... Pamela Ryland Craze, Canute and mtaylor 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuntherMT Posted November 4, 2016 Share #40 Posted November 4, 2016 Can't speak for others, but I have a very difficult time visualizing the appearance of different woods to decide stuff like that in my head, which is why I make samples of everything before applying to the ship. Try taking small samples of the woods you mentioned and lay them down in the same relationship they'll be on the ship, and then apply whatever finish you plan to use so that you can see how it looks. If you are happy with the appearance, then go for it! I know I'm not much help, but there is a reason everything I own is very 'blah', I have no sense at all for decorating/art/colors... Classic wood/beige furniture, silver or white car, etc.. Ryland Craze, mtaylor, FriedClams and 1 other 4 Quote Brian Mystery project coming soon!

donrobinson Posted November 4, 2016 Share #41 Posted November 4, 2016 (edited) Top rail black walnut, cherry planking, walnut wales then cherry for hull planking. Then the gun port linings walnut, is this what you are saying? If so sounds like a nice combo. All depends how much colour you like, you could easily squeeze in some swiss pear also My Batelina build is of cherry and walnut if you are curious as to how they look together Edited November 4, 2016 by donrobinson mtaylor, Landlubber Mike, zoly99sask and 2 others 5 Quote Completed: MS-AVS, Amati Trabaccolo, Dusek ship's boat, AL-Mayflower, Batelina - MarisStella, MarisStella-Trabakul Liburnian Novilara - MarisStella, 17th Century Battle Station, Ragusian Galley-MarisStella Current: Barque Stefano - MarisStella, On Hold: Amati Pegasus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PamW Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share #42 Posted November 4, 2016 (edited) Ok....change up.....I think instead of black walnut stained to resemble the black paint...I'm going to aquire some Gabon Ebony. Local place has it.....1"x3"x24" is the 50.00....ouch Back to that goofy thing, Pamela Edited November 4, 2016 by PamW Landlubber Mike, Canute and mtaylor 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtaylor Posted November 6, 2016 Share #44 Posted November 6, 2016 Onward McDuff, Pamela I didn't know McDuff was still around. Hopefully he'll come back after he's finished with McBeth. Suggestions, critisms, tell me I'm goofy..... Pamela Goofy? Nope, no more than any of the rest of us. Do be careful with the ebony and wear a facemask as the dust can be anything from mildly allergenic to toxic depending on your immune system. Plus it gets everywhere and stains blades and sandpaper. The upside is that it looks great. I can't judge nor critique wood choices as where on the model it is located and the finishing of it is everything.

PamW Posted November 11, 2016 Author Share #45 Posted November 11, 2016 Made the remaining bulkhead patterns today along with the sub deck patterns. Motivation is low due to work being wicked crazy....end of day I am wiped, plus it's been in the Flippin 90s here lately and my patio is a sauna after work so no joy there. I should be able to get a bunch done this weekend..... Pamela FriedClams, mmdd, Canute and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
