Dear Knut
My friend, I would dream of having such a fine and large stock of boxwood, well done my friend.
One day I will also go on a trip to Norway, so what do you say, be prepared to prepare such a treasure for me as well?

 

[Norway]

@shota70, this wood is birch, which there is a lot in Norway, I have cut the trees in my own forest, the advantage is that I have large quantities of material
so that I can trial and error as much as I want and that I can sort out bad/ugly materials as needed.
The materials didn't cost anything, just a lot, just labor and a Metabo machine.
Greetings Knut-

Very nice wood Knut and I'm looking forward to starting your project, Le Gros Ventre is a great ship. I'm full of anticipation and reserve a seat.

 

[Norway]

@Tobias, thanks for your interest, materials should dry for at least 6 more months, but I also have the Rattlesnake and cross-sections of Blandford I want to practice and finish before starting another project, but, thoughts of Le Gros Ventre are all the time, thanks-

@Tobias , Siste bilde viser materialer som er klar for mindre verktøy Proxxon, og div andre.
Fremdeles en stund før det prosjektet starter.
Takk for interessen,-Knut.

@Tobias The last picture shows materials that are ready for smaller tools Proxxon, and various others. Still a while before that project starts. Thank you for your interest, Knut.
