Claire7 Posted April 13, 2023 Author #36 Posted April 13, 2023 Tried to take some better “finished” pictures. And just for fun I made a teeny copy of my Wind in the Willows book… I loved the dory kit, the perfect intro for a beginner. I found the planking the most challenging but having shaped pieces cut for me made it much easier. The tricky part for me was securing each piece exactly in place to dry. I appreciate that this kit involve a lot of detail so that you can develop your skills and be proud of the finished boat. Now on to the Norwegian Pram! Thanks so much to everyone for the likes and kind comments. Montaigne, DutchLQ7, WizardOfOs and 5 others 4 4 Quote

I had a bit of a fear of staining wood. I tried a long time ago with some miniature chairs and the tiny craft wood soaked up too much instantly leaving them very dark and not how I intended. I’m trying to get better at it, so glad you like the result! Quote
