I've finished sheathing the sides below the quarterdeck. I still haven't decided what to finish the forecastle and quarterdeck with. The blue hornbeam issue is still unsolved. I'm leaning toward mahogany, which I used for the lower hull. But I still have work to do on the forecastle and head, and I've also thought about using padauk (a solid red material) to frame the gunports. I'll also use it later to make the inside of the gunport covers, so I don't have to paint them.

I appears that you beveled the edges of the strakes on the upper part of the hull. The best u can tell us that the edges were not beveled in the portion if the hull below the waterline.
