Good morning Sasha. I find the concept of working with different color wood so intriguing. Your second wale down has a pattern and not straight strakes. Did you cut these? I know you are researching the Victory closely- which references do you use. Beautiful work.At the operdeque, 8 gun ports per board are supposed to be open, so you need to make quarters.

Grant, hello. I have McKay's book on Victory. It depicts what the velhouts looked like on this ship. The lowest one (Main Wels Barkhout) is also not from straight boards. I'll show you soon how it looks and how I cut the boards.Good morning Sasha. I find the concept of working with different color wood so intriguing.
