SECOND SHEATHING THE PLANKING

Hi Team, I have now completed all the second sheathing of the long boat, with the final area--- the transom.

I am very pleased with the Rowney ink, it really does show off the grain of the wood, the orange has had 3 thin coats.

Now on to the stem ,keel and rudder.BigGrin Questions and comments welcome Regards Mike
