Marie has a lot of her mahogany inlay done now. She's working on the cockpit area now and should be ready to start the cocpit recess soon.
So, I have Stella's deck inlays finally finished!! I've sanded her down and she is patiently waiting for next weekend when I will glass the deck! This is the nautical inlay which was placed into a solid pice of black walnut that I hand carved the star into. Behind it is the paddle dock, which will have deck rigging added later in order to secure the paddle.
A view from above with the cockpit recess nearly complete and prior to the final sanding.
Sometimes we like to just look at the girls....not really believing it, but they are starting to really look incredible!
With the final sanding done, all I need to do now is prep her for the epoxy and glass. I'll have three coats of epoxy to add over a 24 hour period. This week I'll have to get the dust out of the garage and clean and prep everything.
I can't wait to see her glassed. I wiped her down with a damp cloth and the colors of the wood really jump right out at you!
