Finished the first deck, sanded and applied a bit of danish oil which has darkened it somewhat, it should dry a bit lighter :unsure:- Bri62

Ok first dilemma the deck calls for stain and varnish, but I don't think that will look right so decided to plank the deck with cherry strips 3 x 0.5mm your thoughts?- Bri62

She is a early ship ( 1637) before copper was used, she has a white painted hull below the waterline (a protective anti-fouling mixture containing calcium carbonate (lime) to protect the wooden hull from shipworms and marine rot.)- Bri62
