Nah.... the cost outweighs the pain there I.m afraid. The missus picks them up in the cheap shops for next to nothing but Tesco do a really nice one for 37p a bundle. The only pain is the brainache putting them all in the little holes .

Finally got all the decking in and nailed. Can concentrate on the inner walls now, get them up to scratch. There are nearly a thousand nails in the three decks so God only knows how many will go into the hull  .

An overall view of the hull as it stands to date. I will not be puting any oil on this until a few deck fittings are installed. The glue dont seem to get on with the oil .

The runners for the sliding hatch installed. Might enhance this area a bit cos it looks boring

Had a go at the fancy rail and once I had sat and thought about it, it was pretty straightforward. I think it dont look too bad .

Looking good Harty. I have just fitted the first two planks. I reckon you must have a little bit more spare time than me. Peter completed..... Endeavour Longboat, San Francisco 2, Virginia 1819

Just another update, spent the best part of yeterday doing bits and pieces. Got some hatches done and the fancy staircases, think I might have to tidy them up a bit though.  .Gonna start doing more planking now down to the waterline at least, that will let me get the bumpers and chain wales on.
