Hi Matthias,

 

Regarding the cabin details, have you seen this drawing from the Danish archives?

 

I believe it shows the three decker Christianus Sextus from 1733 by Barbé's predecessor Benstrup. 

 

It gives a good hint of what the decor in the cabins were like at the time!

 

EDIT: I just realised that this was the image you posted part of a few posts ago, sorry! And you are probably right that it is the Sophia Magdalena!

Hello everyone,
Thank you for your encouragement, the work is continuing with the interior work on the upper deck, where the paneling of the “Store Kajüt” (great cabin) described above is now in progress. This also involved some initial carving work. I have now decided to build more or less on the original 18th century interior of the Amphion in Stockholm.
I started with the carved garland below the deck beams:
I laser-cut the rather filigree part with supports and screwed it to the table, then the tools can be used freely with both hands.

 

 

Then the flat columns as a structuring element, here of course the capitals as the first major hurdle.

and here they are put together

 

You could also leave the result in wood, which might have been more discreet and more appropriate for a warship, but I went for a pot of gold paint...

 

Best regards,
Matthias

This looks amazing, Matthias.
You are a master carver!
