I am a little behind on your build but it’s always a pleasure to follow your excellent, informative work. The floral decoration with the laser burner is most impressive. I think I need to learn more about laser burners

Reading this and looking to tips from Janos in the carving section is for free. And rotary tools look for these:

Good evening dear friends
Tonight I applied the process of experimenting and learning from yesterday on a boxwood board.
I made two opposite cuts of the motif with a thickness of 1.6 mm and connected them so that both sides came out the same.
I will let you get an impression of the intermediate result.
in the coming days I will practice hand carving the flower decorations and the lines of the wreaths.
Good night and hope you like the results, any instructive/advisory comments will be gladly accepted

Beautiful work. And inspires me to do more with my laser cutter.
About soot: I read somewhere that wetting the wood helps. But be sure to do some tests, as I can see a risk at warping.

Thank you very much, dear friends, for the praise and words of encouragement
Indeed a damp wipe helps in cleaning the soot

Good evening dear friends
In the last few days I started working on the hatches of the 12 Cannons windows add the drainage.
it's the first step in the process of creating the openings requires more gentle and smooth sanding of the openings as well as the creation of the slightly concave window base. For that, I purchased a matching milling had
Good night and peace everyone

True story
I'm curious what the result of that 'heavy half sphere' will be, Shota. But just like your ‘laser carvings’, you'll have thought about this.

Good evening dear friends
In the last few days I continued with the experiments and working on the windows of the cannon openings.
First I performed two processes at the same time to find the best process for me for the windowsill. The first I sharpened and created a curved razor and the second I examined the results of the special nibbling. After two attempts I chose the window sill that was made with the chisel.
In the picture of the parts on the saw, the only window sill on the right is the one that was made by hand.
Later I decided to build the window frames from boxwood while the planking around them will be from pear wood. I also decided to give a personal interpretation and add two thin side panels with a thickness of 0.45 mm to the window frame.
For now I have installed 6 window sills and I made one window in its entirety, I admit that this strengthened my choice of design henna and the combination of the different shades of the trees.
Attaches documents documenting the steps in the work process and the intermediate result.
I wish you all a fun and safe weekend

Those ports are looking good Shota, I like the way you approached it. As Peter @Peter Voogt mentioned, you have thought about this and always come up with a good solution.
Stay safe.

it's a very kind words, thanks Roger
Very nice result, I can still remember the process at La Palme. I filed a piece of wood to size and covered it with sandpaper. I also had three different window sills to choose from, but I decided to go with the pear-shaped version.
