Thank you very much!

 

The Solferino’s standing rigging is almost complete.

 

I am starting to locate everything and preparing to make a finishing run on the Victory.

A buddy of mine is making the final display stand for the Victory:1E3B530D-8D5E-4BD3-AEEC-061086818FFB.thumb.jpeg.6abfd5a82f9a759323b91f5f854b65be.jpegE968E0F3-36B6-47B6-B773-4AC618CB2F4B.thumb.jpeg.eb728f7c18aae9ff488cf95665feb8d3.jpeg4E3204F4-6AD0-4085-8020-2C46F00BFCD4.thumb.jpeg.f3e5238c61672ba0614f177dbaf613d0.jpeg

It’s a slab of quarter sawn oak.

 

I am going to make cradles for the Victory to sit in and transfer her as one of the absolute last steps.
