Hi JJ and thank you. Hopfully I have that part figure out before to long. At least now the hard part is over and she is looking a bit more ship shape.

Beautiful Gary, congratulations on completing the planking.
And yes one hard part is done and more to come.
But that's the fun of this project.

Well good folks I couldn't find a finish that Iiked so I used the one I put on Alfred. I have been using a mixture of bee wax and thinner, brings out the wood nicely and will add a nice golden color to the planking and not change the color of the wood. Once it's dry I take a rag and wipe it down, and use a bit of steel wool that will bring out a nice sheen to her. Gary

So sorry to hear that you and your wife have been under the weather!  Hoping that you've both recovered nicely.  

Very nice work, Gary!  A piece of art.

Clear skies and sharp tools!
