She really looks fine Jan, those upturned bow and stern elements are such a unique feature.

Wow, small parts, sanding, shaping and big fumbly fingers combined makes working on this kit interesting .

Todays progress report.

Half of the oars are done and half the oar hole covers are sanded and glued in place.

A couple of the cleats had to be "adjusted" after gluing the oar hole covers. I think there would have been a future rigging problem in those locations.

Nice little details, Jan. And I see the stack of oars is growing .....

I see the stack of oars is growing .

Hi Peter,

Yup the stack is getting bigger. Cleaning off the char and shaping the oars is a bit messy. LOTS of sawdust.

I don't want to hear any whining - at least you have all of your fingers.

Those look great Jan! The added benefit is that your house now smells like a charcoal grill.
