Simply awesome work Brian
The kit looks top notch and certainly saves the chore of cutting all the individual frames out.I am pleasantly surprised at your results staining boxwood blocks.I was planning on trying this and was unsure of how it would work given that boxwood is so dense and non absorbent.
Kind Regards
Nigel

The Xebec Le Requin is coming along nicely. Excellent work. All those deck parts you made up will speed the process along.

The cannons are looking great on the Xebec Le Requin. Is that the rope that you got off Alexey Domanoff. It looks excellent quality.
