Trussben Posted November 17, 2020 Author #766 Posted November 17, 2020 Thanks All, It always surprises me how that light pink of the good quality Swiss pear I got from Jeff darkens to that beautiful deep reddish hue after a few months, superb quality wood! I wish Jeff or someone of his caliber was still around, we shall miss him for a long time in this hobby! ben hollowneck, MEDDO, mtaylor and 4 others 7 Current builds: HMS Pegasus TFFM.

Brewerpaul Posted November 17, 2020 #767 Posted November 17, 2020 That's a crazy great level of workmanship! I'm most impressed. Other fruit woods darken with time including Cherry and Plum. I'm not sure about apple. You can take the ship out into bright sunlight if you want to speed it up, but be careful of shadows falling on the wood. They can leave a pale shadow on darkened areas. mtaylor and Canute 2
druxey Posted November 17, 2020 #768 Posted November 17, 2020 I wouldn't recommend 'sunning' a model. There are detrimental ultraviolet rays as well as heat - neither of which will do a model any good in the long run. Also, humidity levels wll drop in the sun, and Ben can tell you all about the trouble that can bring to a model! Much of wood color change is due to surface oxidation from the atmosphere. It will darken wood over time indoors anyway.

Trussben Posted November 23, 2020 Author #771 Posted November 23, 2020 (edited) I’m still working on the upper deck framing but I need to start thinking about the forecastle and Quarter deck beams and hooks, so using a new tool in the workshop that I have been learning, I cut all the beams out of some pear stock.
