Your build looks amazing! It will be a while before I start mine but I will definitely heed the advice on the cling wrapping the Strong back. Can you tell me about how much CA you used coating the inside of the hull?

@Bryan Woods, I can't really say how much I used. I just took the top off the bottle  and used an old artist  brush. Then just threw it away.  20230511_222455.thumb.jpg.4beec617132b997500b2f1b638f1e0c6.jpgSo I finished the ribs, installed the stringers. I made some amber shellac, and coated the inside, got carried away and did the hull one coat. It looks marvelous  I think. The first Mate loves it.20230510_093410.thumb.jpg.80cf7d627db33b8a95022a936b6b9af0.jpg

This is a fun build the wood and the instructions are top notch.  Can't wait till tomorrow to finish the decks, but got some outside work to do, the first Mate is itching to get at her garden,  so I will have to rotter  till  it for her. Plus we got to go on a road trip at the beginning of June so she wants her oil changed in her car before we go. Shees don't they know I got modeling to do lol. Thanks for all the likes and help. I could not have done this one for sure with out the help of the four logs on this boat here

 Thank you all.

Thank you very much for the likes and comments,  appreciated  😊.  So we move on to the decks, also made the yardarm, mast, and drilled holes for the ropes later. The decks turn out well, the wood is excellent. I have to Thank Scott Miller soon, I will send him a picture when done.lol20230511_221948.thumb.jpg.6b8b604389d09ed0beb919e506370a48.jpg20230513_150734.thumb.jpg.96e76f582961dea04040823b8fe0a9b8.jpg20230513_150743.thumb.jpg.03357acafb523e8b4a5bdb1b5dc89e15.jpgNow it was time for the cutwater, I traced the bow on a peice of paper, a left pofile and a right, or port side , starboard. Then I stacked the 4x4 and traced it on. Everything looked straight,  but by the time I fitted it,  there was a bit of a slant. But it will do lol. 20230512_184515.thumb.jpg.5b5c8a2e8e827d4b1545a7bfeea797e0.jpg

The port side looks more rounded than the starboard side,  but you would have to look close for that.

 Captain Marvin has one complaint though  lol. 20230512_183253.thumb.jpg.c982fd842f8c2b271dcef769e35ffea1.jpg

The first Mate  would like a floor in her boat, so today I should glue in the mast. Install  the floor and put the cap rails on, we will see lol. This will be the display  side . I am pretty happy with the boat so far. I am even thinking of my next build lol, and I have not finished this one. Lots of time though  lol.

Well I am getting there, installed the floor, false keel. The false keel has quite the bend to it and I was looking for a spare because I was sure it was going to break, but it didn't  lol. 20230514_224832.thumb.jpg.7f68284185c75475d0c37420e82ceacb.jpg

20230516_005653.thumb.jpg.11cd49a57848697cbe83df57233d409f.jpg

After that it was the cap rail , they almost fit with out any bending , just a little bit of heat and they fit perfectly. 20230516_003632.thumb.jpg.f585fd78b20f8885c59d75646a6a0fdc.jpg

20230517_135603.thumb.jpg.351047ec5571cd5be69653ebfa9c05fa.jpg

 Then I made the oars, rudders, davits, and stern  peice. So I have the benches to make and prep the sails, run four rigging  lines, no wait six  lol.  I will be done rigging in a day lol. Yep getting  close on this one. It has been a blast. The bending of the wood, the making of the amber shellac,  it was all so much fun to do. I am sure  The First Mate will  love this  as she does say it looks beautiful  every time she comes to visit me in the ship yard, lol.

 So just a bunch of things to put together and I call it done , maybe a week or less.

 Thanks so much everyone  it has been fun hanging out with you all.  :cheers:

Such a beautiful boat.  It looked like such a simple build from the picture in your first post.  But following each of your steps along the way has shown me that there is a lot of hidden complexity in the build requiring a lot of skill.  Well done (with the finish line near), my friend!

Well my friends,  it is that time. I am going to mark this one finished. Made and attached the rudders, and finally  Captain Marvin Got his  pillows lol.20230517_193917.thumb.jpg.5d5c32d5571a801d72abbd39c6a9d328.jpg20230517_232446.thumb.jpg.6118d21dba9f5ed7c5fe08dab29e4812.jpg

 

It's  all done, and we decided to add more wind to the sails.  So I saturated the sail with GAC 400, got the hair dryer, low heat, high wind, and using the hair dryer I blew it for about 10 minutes  . The sail turn out fine.20230518_014838.thumb.jpg.9f845f05e1aa13b15f13b45ad4b142ff.jpg

20230518_114831.thumb.jpg.1e289bc98183afc483d9d3ae189cc439.jpg

More wind lol 😆 20230518_115139.thumb.jpg.773506b3d48ace45380e0692fa43974b.jpg

  So here are a few more final  pictures.

 

 Plus,  I would like to thank M S W for helping along the way. And a big thank you to the four other Sea of Galilee Boat  logs that I leaned on to finish.   

Bye for now see you soon
