Now that the deck is glued into place, and trimmed, I can see what The Lady Caroline will look like.
I've just started the seats. I have some filling over the screws & sanding to do on the deck.
It's all coming together.
In other news, my Mom recycled an Old Leather Sofa. I acquired large amounts of the leather. And a short strip of it made a nice strop. Turns out that a scrap of leather with some polishing compound on a backing of birch ply will sharpen up a blade just fine. The more I practice sharpening tools, the more I wonder what all the fuss is about.
