I decided against fiddling with the outside stain colors for now and gave the whole outside a clear matt varnish for protection. Next I went on with the inboard planking and painted it red. The bulwark thickness ended up a little bit too thick for a 3/16" cap rail to create an inboard overhang, so I plan to use an 1/4" plank and make it a bit wider. Hi Peter - those are interesting clips you used for clamping. Do you know where you got them or what they are called? They look like they don't have hard 'jaws'.

They have a decent 'reach' and they have rubber pads where they meet. Basswood is relatively soft and easy to dent so the padded ends worked out quite well. I'm not sure if you can get them in the USA.
