Hi Shota. Those lights look very nice and the stern, slowly but steadly, is taking life. Amazing project anyway!

good evening my dear friends
In the last few days I started working on the front part of the bow.
To get an idea of the configuration and the result I'm aiming for, I'll attach a picture from the beautiful work of our friend Giampy65.
As you noticed, this part consists of 10 parts and three types of wood - pear, ebony and boxwood.
In the original drawing you can see that if one type of wood is used, 8 pieces are enough.
In each choice, maximum precision is required in the interfaces between the parts.
In addition, ebony and boxwood are not found in my country and I am very short on these trees.
For these two reasons, I decided that I would first build this part from poplar wood, and based on the experience and lessons I would gather in the initial process, I would apply it to the process with the three trees.
I'm attaching the photos of the initial test which turned out well, but not one hundred percent accurate.
with an emphasis on the upper part on which the front mast rests.
Based on the lessons learned, I proceeded to make the parts from ebony and pear wood.
I would also like to note that almost every part has a different width, where the lower part that connects to the keel is 7.6 mm wide, while the quarter of the bows in the front of the part on the right is 5.6 mm wide.
As you must have noticed, I am in the middle of the work, and I am turning to you with a request for guidance, assistance and advice, which will be most welcome.
The first issue: As you can see in the drawing as well as in the pictures, between the parallel quadrants of the arch is threaded a decoration, the edges of which go into square channels.
The question is what is the correct way to create these canals within the quarters of the arches made of ebony wood. The depth of the channel is about 2.7 and a width of 2.3 mm.
Second question: whether and how it is possible to create the part with the decorations (from boxwood) "trapped" between the two quarters.
I believe hand carving would be quite challenging. I thought of combining laser engraving/cutting of the contours and then carving.
Maybe someone can advise on another method or know someone else who created a 3D file of the part for a printer or cnc. Any help and guidance will be greatly appreciated and thanked.
Last update A good friend of mine (Alexei) from the group in my country prepared the display board for the model . He does amazing work in 3D and cnc. Impress yourself.
And in the meantime I wish all of us good and fun days with family, friends and hobbies

You too Shota
A complex piece of woodwork with all those curved, Shota. It need a lot of attention to get those connections. A solid base for making it in ebony and boxwood.good evening my dear friends

Hi Shota,
I’m not sure what level of precision you are shooting for… but I had good success working over a light table. It made it easier to see where to carefully sand to get the best fit. I also made a curved sanding block to assure I was sanding at 90 degrees. It’s tricky to get both sides to look good and that helped. Just some small tips my friend. It’s fun for us to see you skills improve!

Hello Shota!
you are doing a good job!
I want to give you a little advice that may be useful:
When you cut out the paper shapes that you are going to glue onto the wooden block, leave a little margin beyond the cut line, so it is easier to bring the piece to size by sanding off the excess.
I use lots of photocopies from which I cut out each component....
precision is crucial here to achieve a good result!

thank you very much my dear friend for your kind wordsThat is some level of dedication You are showing!!
Cutting all those parts out of a lesser precious wood for a mock-up is a great idea. Not only to anticipate errors but to save on the beautiful box, pear and ebony.
