Doug from Kiowa Posted May 6 #1 Posted May 6 Started this build over 3 years ago. First time building a wooden model so I had to learn a lot of lessons. Plans are very comprehensive and the accompanying book was quite helpful. Got the hull and decking done about a year ago, then put it on the shelf for awhile. Started back up 8 months ago and now working consistently. Really didn't know what I was doing, so relied on the book and plans to get this far. Still have many questions. I am on the standing rigging now, but almost done with the lower main and fore mast. Would love any feedback provided. Nirvana, chris watton, ccoyle and 3 others 6 Quote

Maybe some closeups would be better if you are looking for input on anything specific.
