Hi everybody,
The last work on my Xebec is a continuation of some of the woodcarvings. I'll show you the proces.
The "column shaped" design is more and less the design OcCre went for in their kit and I liked it and so kept it. Just made them out of wood instead of the prefabricated castings.

regards,
Peter

Hi Peter, very elegant, your carving skills are mesmerizing.

 

[Dean62]

Looks great Peter! Excellent carving skills you are showing! I see you want in on the scroll action!

Good morning Peter- No way! I don’t know how you craft such beautiful carvings. I tried to make a flower for my stern gun ports. Well I can’t say more than . I’m going to have to make a plan someday as the Cazador decorations wont fit. Your Xebec is wonderful. Brilliant Peter. Cheers Grant

We are both "scrolled"

I would like to see the carving you tried to make. Just keep practising and eventualy it works out for you. Begin with a scroll or something easy and eventualy after a few tries, things fall into the right place....or apart....
Thanks for stopping by!

Those carvings are beautiful, Peter. Your Xebec is starting to look a smaller version of the RC! In fact, that could be your next model! If you know how much I admire that ship, and the builders who do her justice, it is no small compliment.

 

[Maarten]

Very nice work again Pter. Hope to see it live again in Amsterdam in September.

Actually I think the flower you showed is the easiest, because it’s just cutting in straight lines. A scroll requires you cut around a curve and change the angle of the gouge (roll it on its edge) as you reach the point. I’m sure you understand that.
And maintaining a smooth and consistent curve requires some artistic dexterity, like painting or drawing a circle. Some people struggle with this. So although the design of a scroll may be simple, the cutting requires more care and a steady hand, than say a flower.

Thank you Heinrich, I think it's too much credits in comparison of the RC builders! I'm still "far" away from a next project. Too much work still on my Xebec because I keep finding new things to add or change....It's almost a never ending story....

Very nice work again Pter. Hope to see it live again in Amsterdam in September.

Thanks Maarten, I'll be there in September to worship that finished scratch build, vlakbouwmethode Fluyt of yours!

There is a challenge in every woodcarving I guess. With all these added scrolls, it's like going in circles....

I meant this year September not 2030

Good morning Peter. I will have a look in the rubbish if I can find it , although I’m not sure you want to see it . I only have Lime wood, a little walnut and birch wood. I’m not sure these are good for carving? I used birch disastrous flower attempt. Cheers Grant

Hello everybody,

This weekend I made some rigging preperations. Drilled a couple of holes and made some ropeloops.
After this I started carving the figurehead. I thought, @Dean62 has his lion, I need an Eagle. A Spanish Imperial Eagle, due to the fact this is a Spanish Xebec.
This type of eagle is an endangered spiecies and lives only in a remote region in the South of Spain. The eagle looks similair to the more known golden eagle and is almost the same size.

See you next time, and thanks for following my log.

That’s a beautiful Imperial Eagle, Peter. I am impressed!

[Jimsky]

I am in synch with Peter, your carving of Eagle looks great, I mean it is no surprise, we saw your carving work in your model. I am always impressed with your work! Keep up a great job!

 

[Maarten]

Wonderful work again Pter, actually the rope work above the eagle is also impressive.

 

[Dean62]

Cool, that’s a great addition Peter! Nicely done!

Good morning Peter. While Dean’s (@Dean62 ) lion roars your eagle soars! That is excellent rope work as well. Beautiful. Cheers Grant

Thanks Peter, the boxwood makes it easier to get some details in the head.

Hi Jim, thanks!! I'm trying to keep up with my work....it's not easy.

Wonderful work again Pter, actually the rope work above the eagle is also impressive.

Thanks Maarten, the quality of the rope that @BenD provided me makes all the difference. It's almost even fun to start with the rigging part of the ship...

Cool, that’s a great addition Peter! Nicely done!

Yeah, you have the lion, me the eagle..... Thanks!

Thanks Grant, your Xebec comes nicely together as well. I'll keep following.
