Hello,

Recent progress. Had to add some height to the bulwarks. Took a while to get that under control. Pictures show installation of timberheads. Made a simple fixture which provides the 3/8 spacing plus, generally, good vertical location as well. Also picture showing the shaping of the waterways. Used the deck template and drew a line on heavy cardboard. Then just push in brads, soak the waterway stock, tape in place and wait overnight.

Timberheads and cap rails in place. As you can see, I decided to continue with stain along the rails. It struck me as more authentic than painted black. It may be difficult to see but the stain on the rails is lighter than the deck. In some places, I blended both stains. All stained areas were lightly wiped with a cotton cloth after application. Thanks.
