Hi there I'm keeping myself busy until I can cut the maple planks tomorrow. Decided to cover the beak platform with the supplied sapele vineer instead of staining it.   Enjoy your Easter! Regards Kobus

Regards Alan Hi Alan Thanks, must give credit to you for the idea. No use in staining it if you got supplied sapele veneer available, which I'm not gonna use for anything else. Thanks for looking in.

I am glad to see you back on your build. The detail looks great. I had the same idea in mind using the Sapele-strips to contrast the walnut. I struggle to get those parts glued together and end up putting it aside for a later stage of my build.

I'm busy with the second layer of planking the hull bottom with maple strips that I have cut. The one side is almost complete and then for the other one! Will post some pics over the weekend.
