I'm continuing with planking, it's going very slowly - so far I have about two-fifths of the hull done, including nailing. And although I was as careful as possible when manipulating the hull, I managed to break off part of the stem. Fortunately, it is only in the glued joint, so the repair will not be difficult.

Beautiful and clean work, marsalv. I usually delay attaching the knee of the head until after planking and work on the external hull is complete, to prevent it breaking off. Also, it is not in the way when planking the bow.

Thank you guys for nice comments.

To druxey - For Le Gros Ventre I did the same as you, but there were some problems when gluing the knee of the head - the knee of the head does not fit well to the keel and a small gap can form there. That's why I've chosen a different procedure now, the joint between the knee of the head is perfect, but it has other negatives.

To EspenT - Unfortunately, the monograph does not contain digital drawings, so all drawings are scanned and further processed in a CAD program. The list of wood species is as follows: unsteamed pear (used for internal planking), steamed pear (has a slightly pinkish color shade - external planking), black hornbeam (substitute for ebony). Boxwood will also be used (carvings and decorative moldings), castello boxwood (planking above the wales), maple (decks). That's about it.
