HMS Royal William 1719 1:55 by OlegM

I make the main whale and the black strake in two layers because of their big thickness. First step - first layer of the black strake. Second step - first layer of the main whale. The photo from afore shows a small mismatch between port and starboard strakes which I corrected later

you are very fast - very good progress !
One question:
we can see at the grain of the single planks, that you are not using strips but cut out the planks from a sheet.

Is it possible to explain (and/or show, how do define the curved form of the plank and bring this form on the timber sheet?

No, I use planks, I taper them and bend accordingly to local geometry
As for the direction of the grain, well it's not me who makes the planks, I don't have a circular saw neither a thickness planer, I buy all the planks from my supplier as per my dimensions. Honestly I didn't even give attention to the direction
 
Олег. Напишу по русски. Наблюдаю за вашей постройкой и на Верфи. Спрошу здесь. Доски обшивки какой ширины, и на сколько зауживали? В корму заужали, или только в нос? С какого пояса начали зауживать, сразу от бархоута? И ещё один вопрос, расстояние между бархоутами по всей длине корпуса одинаково?
