Looks like you all set with Holy wood for upcoming builds! I think you can use some for a desk in your Blandford build cross-section. BTW. how is that build going?

 

[Norway]

I have holy materials from before that I will use to main / lower deck, Blandford.
The materials that are for drying I dream of building an entire model of, EX Ratlesnake.
It will be a model that is mostly completely white, with elements of black blocks, fittings, bolts ASO.
Blandford, frames finished cut, keel and false keel are ready for bonding, has made a temporary keel
which I will use when adapting the frames in the jig, has also made some materials,
dekksbjelker ASO.

Splitting.


Waste.


Result.


Continuation

 

[Norway]

Big table saw.
Height of saw blade, 5 cm, before and after splitting


Results 3 variants three:


Again very much waste.

 

[Norway]

Finally Proxxon tools.
Now all wood types are adjusted to be used in my Proxxon tool.


Now I've have cut off branches.


Here I make samples of 3 types of wood.


Finished samples I will show in the next post.
I just have to say that this work was very time-consuming and that was extremely mutch waste, maybe 50%.

Is it still worth doing it, Knut? It is your own wood, you don't have to pay a penny...and you can make any size you like! What do you think?

 

[Norway]

Thanks for your interest Jim, I will probably just finish the split
wood with the latest woods that are now drying.
Now I know at least how much work is required to obtain free materials.
I now have a whole lot of materials at my disposal.
Most of the materials I've made and are going to make are very bright,
More delicate woods I will probably buy on my local sawmill

Oiled samples of the three forests that have dried and ready for use, birch, spruce, pine.

looks very good, Knut! What do you use to imitate caulking?

 

[Norway]

Jim, black cardboard. bought at the stapels.

This looks very, very good. Now, I am more and more towards using this technique as caulking. What thickness this cardboard?

 

[Norway]

The carton is the thinnest they have on Staples, and it is 0.34mm thick.
