Hi Everyone,

Indtriducing my first wooden sail boat model build. I have started work in January 2024 but went few months without progress after i realized how hard planking is. Also i must say that wallnut planks which came with kit were not great quality.

This year i have restarted build and decided to do second layer planking for which i have chosen 1x7 bass planks.

I have used colored oil to stain bass wood, whcih result was better than expected.

Hull was then finished with 2 layers of satin oil.
