Absolutely great wood working. That is fine accompaniment to the little yacht.

Good evening Ron. Outstanding standWell, I completed the pedestal this morning. Two light coats of clear last night and mounted the banner this morning.
The base is cut from cherry with 2 x 5mm maple deck planking and pencil lead "caulking" between the planks. The banner is walnut. My favorite wood is cherry which will darken with time to form a sharp contrast to the maple.
Now it's time to reset my compass and make a course correction to return to building what goes on this display stand.
Can you say "Cart before the horse"
In all fairness to full disclosure I "borrowed" this idea from one of Piet's build logs. Thank you, Piet.
His was rectangular and I opted to go with the oval shape. Defiantly more of a challenge with cutting the decking.

. Seriously beautiful. Now you have created some pressure for yourself for the Statenjacht to be mounted needs to fit the stand. I must say - so far so good tho

One of the fiddlier of the fiddly bits, the anchor beams. Made from 8mm walnut. The center section gets cut down to 2mm thickness.
Somehow, I managed to accomplish this without breaking the piece, (Yet) Would have liked the joints to be a little tighter however as this piece gets painted (reluctantly) a little more sanding and some filler and it should be fine.

Not sure how that could have turned out much nicer.

Agreed! That is very neatly done. I know exactly how and where this piece is supposed to fit - be careful with those top-railing cut-outs!

Absolutely Heinrich. I’ll put away my chain saw and opt for something a little more precise. And speaking of precise “measure four times, cut once).
Ditto....always enjoy it when Paul comments before myself...then I can just “ditto”
. Other than when he gives advice or technical comments then Grant pleads the 5th. Ron if I could get my joints like yours I open a bottle of champagne! Cheers Grant

Well, it’s a black day in the shipyard. The Admiral lost her battle with kidney failure this morning.
I will re- open the shipyard however, at this time I’ve put my tools aside for awhile.
I have to say thanks to all for keeping me sane over these few months.
