Certainly. But he did a special order for you?

I just requested two pieces of Swiss pear. I believe 1/2” x 3” x 30” that I can rip into any size pieces I will need in the future. He had a piece he could cut in half to meet my request.
I have a full size table saw, miter saw, etc.
So in my case he only needed one board that he could use to meet my request.
I’m not sure what you are looking for, but I am sure he will work with you.

Not my experience thus far... Anyway, my problem not yours. Sorry to clog up your report.
No worries, hopefully that changes soon.
Thank you!
A quick update, first window finished on the lower starboard side galley…
I’m trying to complete one window and one flower a day. 
That leaves at least 4 more days to finish the windows on the lower gallery.
Then I can start on the walls for the upper one. Which is full of windows and a door.
Was staring at her and the shadows really highlight the hull shape.

Thanks.You’re taking a very thoughtful approach. I’m looking forward to seeing how the upper gallery, with its windows and door, takes shape. Excellent work so far!
The upper gallery is definitely harder due to a few things. It will be more clear once I start it. The upper wall with windows and door go on first, then side walls. Then the columns and the outer wall (curved and at an angle) with carvings go on prior to the roofs on the side galleries that tie into that. Then the railings go on and finally all of the decorations or carvings. There is a logical order, but a lot of work!
Bravo Dean…. Way to go.I’m trying to complete one window and one flower a day.

Thanks Grant!
I finished the starboard side lower galley…woohoo! Now I have 3 windows and two flowers to finish the port side. Getting there slowly but surely.
Thank you! I’m getting tired of making windows at this point.Well done on completing the starboard side lower galley—great progress! With just a few windows and flowers left on the port side, you’re almost there. Keep it up—can’t wait to see the finished result!
Wonderful work Dean, a real pleasure to look at your posts this morning.
Thank you!
That looks very nice, Dean. With a steady pace, a window a day, it’s less then a week.
Regards, Peter
Thanks Peter!
Just an update, making a window the other night, I broke the tip off my last xacto blade…sigh! I have 25 more blades on order and hoping to get them any day now so I can resume work. I hadn’t realized it was my last blade until I broke it.
Tip - order new blades when you open your last pack!
