woodartist Posted August 6, 2019 #1 Posted August 6, 2019 I have been a wood carver for 30 years, and have done mostly birds for the last 10. I relish doing really fine detail wood carving and thought I would try to build a ship. I bought a kit for Mare Nostrum and now I am in the research process prior to commencement of starting. Attached are 3 of my carvings. EJ_L, tarbrush, JeffT and 5 others 8
mtaylor Posted August 6, 2019 #2 Posted August 6, 2019 Great looking carvings. Welcome to MSW. When you're ready start the model, open a build log as it's a great way to get help and meet folks.

woodartist Posted August 6, 2019 Author #5 Posted August 6, 2019 Myaylor suggested I start a build log. Is there a template that you would recommend? I m assembling materials to build a vice to hold the keel. I will start assembly upon completion of vice build.

Nope, no template, but there are instructions on how to start and name one pinned at the top of that forum.
