drobinson02199 Posted October 30, 2020 Author Share #122 Posted October 30, 2020 For fun, I took this picture of the yards with varnish drying. They look like sausages hanging. I may have mentioned this in an earlier post, but before starting the masts and yards, I went through all of my dowels and labeled them in terms of which piece would be shaped from them. Important so you don't run out of a size you need. You'll notice one of the yards is darker. That's natural walnut that I took from my spare wood supply -- the others are stained. The issue was that the dowel I had allocated for that yard was double the diameter needed (the only option), and when I got to it I didn't feel like shaping all that wood down. I did have a walnut piece that was the right diameter, so used that. The mismatch in color isn't as dramatic as it looks in the picture.
