Oh, so the jammies don’t come with the kit?
Very nice work Glenn, clean, neat and accurate.

Glenn, when you beveled the eighth strake and on, did you bevel the entire strake or only where the the strongback frame curves?
True story
Just echo everyone else Glenn. Fantastic.
Glenn, where are you?!
I saw a squirrel
Sorry for such a delayed answer.
I beveled "as needed" to keep the gap between the strakes as minimal as possible. Many many trial fits.

Some time has been spent in the shipyard over the past several weeks but I didn't take photos along the way. Here is my current progress:
Cap rails installed. Stern cap and Stern Mast Cleat installed. Benches, thole pins and oar pivots installed.
Thank you for looking.

I echo Paul and Don's words - just beautiful Glenn!
Time well spent Glenn- fantastic.
Glenn, this log is a pleasure to watch. It gives me the courage to continue on mine.
Thank you everyone for these wonderful words of encouragement!
Work continues. Making the oars: began by filing a groove into the edge of a leftover strake with one of my riffler files.
Next I sanded the strake smooth on bothering sides, then cut two paddle halves for each oar at a 60° angle. Then I sanded each half to its final shape with 80# sanding block. Finally I glued the grooved edge to the oar shaft.
I gave the entire boat a final inspection, carefully smoothing any areas that needed it, and insuring no glue was visible. The mast was attached. I wanted to have everything glued before oiling to avoid problems.
Then oil was applied. I used Watco Danish Oil, natural (no coloring). Here the stand, oars and rudders have been oiled with the boat prior to oiling to show the difference before and after with the mohagony I was provided.
And here is the boat immediately after the first coat of oil.
It still needs more coats of oil with at least a day or two between each coat.
Thank you for looking and all of the likes,

I finished it. After finishing with Danish Oil it just needed the sail, rigging and odds and ends like net, basket and rock anchor.
Maya, my constant companion, decided to photobomb a few pics.
This concludes this build. Thank you everyone for looking, for the likes, the comments & encouragement, and most of all the fellowship that surrounds this wonderful hobby through this great site!
Now it's time to get back to my Galleon

And just like that you are finished???!!! Wow Glenn you have created an absolutely beautiful Sea of Galilee boat - your woodwork, the cleanliness and the accuracy are all as close to perfect as can be. You can be extremely proud of her.
