I have just started building on Billing boats Vasa and am now thinking about planking.
One thing that I think looks a little strange is when you let all the planks go whole from front to stern. When I look at pictures of the 'wreck' at the museum, the cormorants are clearly visible.
One idea is to shape and bend the plank in full length and then cut them to ¨right¨ lengths. Absolutely does not have to be exactly as it is in Vaasa, it is enough if it looks pretty right.
In that case, how many parts does each length need to be in and was it used to splice them in some specific places / frames or was it more random?
Maybe three parts are enough, will be just over 15 meters per piece in full scale?
