I like your pattern and the curved planking very much - looking very good my friend
Good quality - either the material and also the work

I am interested in this small tool or jig you are working and shown in this photo



I guess with these 2 times 2 elements you can tension the planks somehow into a curve, so you can produce the curved shape



Unfortunately for me, looking at the photos it is not clear how it is really working. Could you please explain (and / or show) how you produce the curved planks?

Looks real good. What type of wood did you use?

Pear wood.

I don't understand it either, but would love to find out. Deck planking is spot on, difficult one to achieve.

Thanks

To me, the planks are just tapered from both ends using this jig.

Greetings, dear Uwe the boards on the deck did not have to be bent on purpose, they are narrow enough and bend easily anyway. The main difficulty for me was the correct calculation of the board width. To do this, I made a pattern and markup for each board.
The photo shows an elementary clamp for rails for narrowing them using a mini planer. The slats are fixed with wedges two at a time and then the plane is used to make a desired width. They are processed in two to maintain the symmetry of the deck, right and left half of the deck.
If it is not too clear, please, text me.
My best regards

I have finished the side plating.

I bought a yellow hornbeam for covering the outer side. Let's see how it looks.

 

[Uwek]

Painting with wood - I am looking forward how these yellow hornbeam planking will look like

 

[Kortes]

I made a simple template for marking oared ports.

 

[Kortes]

I made blanks for making the imitation of blocks embedded in the board, I will refine them in the future.

I have sheathed the inside and outside of the stern.

Now it's done , but I haven't installed a lump decor yet. I decided not to cut it, but tried to make it from several parts instead .

Wow, nicely done, Alex! Something unordinary way and kinda substitution to traditional carving. I like the way you are thinking.

 

[Uwek]

Wow - what a work intensive way - very good result

 

[Kortes]

I have begun to carry out the finishing of the hull. Its the first time that I do it with a combination of two colors - black hornbeam and pear.

 

[Uwek]

Wow - very good and accurate work - especially the transition from pear to hornbeam is done extremely good

 

[Kortes]

My dear friends Jim, Uwe I'm very touched by your attention to my work. Im looking forward to our communication. My best regards, Alexander

 

[Gennaro]

This is AMAZING! Transition from pear to hornbeam is unreal. I've seen it only once in Gianpierro Ricci's L'Amarante. Thanks so much for sharing.

I have finished finishing plating. I still have to make grinding and work out the joints.
