All Planked Up !



Today, I got to lay the last plank on my Robbe Atlantis Schooner :)

I am very happy with the result, not perfect, but aesthetically pleasing to me....and thats who has to be most happy !

I feel the fine timbers supplied by Keith, have really added something to the model.

Tomorrow, will see the start of the sanding process......and no doubt lots of dust !

Not bad for a weeks solid work, but much quicker than I had anticipated...

Oh yes, and here are the stats.......I used >
54 linear metres of Lemonwood Gerona, 250mm x 5mm x1.5
3 linear metres of Honduran Mahogany 500mm x 7.5mm x1.5
1.5 linear mtrs of Honduran Mahogany 10mm x 1.5
And the Cost ? Around £40 GBP, I think it was worth it
