The decking, mast, spar, blocks, rudder, belaying pins and pretty much everything else
apart from frames and keel was scratchbuilt.
The deck was treenailed down to the cross beams i installed and simulated caulking was laid between each plank.
Once all was sanded flush it was onto the side boards, cutting in the scuppers as i went along.
The mast was a single piece of dowel, turned to get a good taper then a single sheave installed at the mast top.
The rigging was just some line i had laying about in my ships spares.
The rigging blocks were carved from a single stick of spruce.
