[woodeater]

In the Central Naval Museum (Saint-Petersburg, Russia) there is an Admiralty model of frigate La Legere.

During 2 years i was busy with measuring this model and preparing a drawings.

Then during 2 years i was busy with her building.

I will show you my work in progress...

[woodeater]

 I used apple-wood for frames

[G.L.]

Original building board! It looks to me very stable to sand the frames.

[woodeater]

I like this building board! Much freedom during operating with frames

[druxey]

Very nice work so far.

That is what I call craftsmanship.
