Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!  You should be so happy with those results.  

Thank you Chuck. Yes, I’m very, very pleased and happy with this rewarding result after roughly 8 months. Though one also starts to love planking with the smell of the hot travel iron on those yellow cedar planks with many iterations of gently bending and fitting…

But, again, all thanks to your clear instructions, both on paper and YouTube!

And yet again in the Speedwell build log, such a pleasure to read and watch ahead on my iPad in the evening and again so inspiring….

Thanks! 
Frank.

Very nice, frank! you reached a milestone. You were willing to take things slow, and your efforts show that really nice work can be done if you take your time. I’m just curious, did you have a lot of throwaways?

Thanks Mike, yes I had several throwaways at the bow and the stern…I estimate 25-30% roughly... Mostly because after (also side) bending I saw I had cut and sanded off little more than my tickmarks said it should… Still difficult to estimate on forehand I also find how much tilt I should sand with my sanding stick on the sides of planks in these areas.

I would like to do this better next time, as this only shows after sanding, when a tight seem becomes little less tight after sanding…

Frank.

I know exactly what you mean, been there myself. Trust me, your planking work will only get better. Still, you should be very happy with your result on the Winnie.

Better than that?!?!

It looks  pretty perfect  to me (though I admit Mike (Stuntflyer) sets pretty high standards to shoot for).

You certainly merit a glass or two of Scotland's finest.
