Hello Don there is a problem uploading more than 1 image Donnie is waiting for the server hosting company to resolve this problem.Hello all, a big thank you for all the likes comments and visits. Today's update is again not really showing much but trust me when I say there was hours of work done since the last post. First the second sail was completed(not yet on spar) again the sewing was a chore and seemed to take forever to finish. The thirty oars were made and painted c/w a poly finish finally the masts were stepped. There were also some minor changes made to the rigging of the blocks on the spars mainly just changing the size of rope I used as the original looked far too large to me.

Making the oars, in the foreground a blank then oars shaped,next pile are the oars with handles carve and markings for the final sanding and the very top pile are the oars with final sanding ready for painting and poly.
Having problems loading more than one picture, I will see if I can figure this out. Be back soon
