Dear TobiasHello everyone, not much news from La Palme, scratching, scratching............ scratching. I'm getting closer to finishing the interior of the fuselage. I made some sanding blocks at the beginning and worked with them, however in my eyes this is not effective. The best method is to work with the drawing plates - the result is great and, above all, precise.

Hi Tobias. I have been drawing down black hornbeam into treenails and I found it to be very workable as well. I also found it to be a bit waxy (that is, when I cut into it the cut surface had a little shine to it and this was also observable when drawing it down in a draw plate). I’m curious if you observed the same thing?Hello Uwe, the processing is a lot better. I had made one with ebony and watered it, since it is a very dense wood, it sinks immediately and absorbs almost no water (3mm thickness), the hornbeam behaves differently. The hornbeam is also very hard, but it absorbs the water and you can bend it very well. The procurement of the hornbeam was only possible through Hobbymill, which has this on offer, but it will take some time before Vahur can deliver. Luckily I ordered it while I was building Le Rochefort so I didn't have a problem with the waiting time.
Good morning Paul @dockattner , what you describe is the same for me. I assume that this is due to the coloring of the wood. From what I've read, the wood is colored under pressure in a special process.Hi Tobias. I have been drawing down black hornbeam into treenails and I found it to be very workable as well.
