Good morning.
Planking the
upper deck. Continuing with a simplified Le Requin deck. I used a 3 butt pattern but only wanted 2 rows of treenails.
I also lined the start at the fore of the deck. Not sanded completely yet.

Treenails. I rather enjoy the untidy look - not intentional.

The Transom I used 3mm (rather than the kit 6mm) planks. The knees look big as they need to be worked smaller due to the smaller transom I made.These are dry fitted.
Here what my reshaped Xebec looks like so far :

I truely dislike LIME wood. Red circle - I used cotton buds to clean off any excess wood glue and even then it seeps far into the Lime (so porous). Hmmmm……..It should only ever be used for a first planking layer - note to kit manufacturers.
