tkay11 Posted May 3, 2020 #33 Posted May 3, 2020 I am thinking of making this my next build and was reviewing yours. Could you let me know the wood you used for the masts?

Could you let me know the wood you used for the masts? Tony Tony, The masts are made from some left over hardwood flooring. Here in Quebec, the wood is called in French "Merisier" but it is not cherry tree as a direct translation will say, it is in fact "bouleau jaune" which stands for yellow birch. I used it as it is quite straight and well dried. It works very nice, especially by turning. There is quite a color variation between pieces as you can see in the pictures, but I only use those uniform white. I used it to simulate the nordic pine that was actually used for masts. The sparts and other black parts were just painted with black acrylic paint. Hope this helps.
