KOLDERSTOK BATAVIA / HAARLEM

Hello Everyone

Today was spent trying to rescue my fiasco from the previous post. You will recall that in the process of installing the scuppers on the starboard side, I very successfully managed to destroy my planking between two of the berghouten.

Fiasco:(

The first step was to cut out the whole affected area trying to do it in such a way that I would end up on a spant on either side. That way I would have something substantial to glue the replacement section to.

Die plaatje is nie voor sensitiewe kijkers bedoel nie! :D

Then it was a case of carefully bending and gluing the strips to each other taking care to maintain the zeeg between the berghouten.

Work in progress met de schuurresten en PVA op standby.

For now, I'm reasonably satisfied. It's not perfect, but it is what it is. The colour difference between the two sections is still prominent, but that is because of the recent sanding.

Eerste spiegelornament. Please don't pay attention to the condition of the rest of the stern - it all still needs to be finished.

And four days short of one year since the build has commenced, this is where we are tonight.

Thank you all for following, looking, commenting and for your overall support throughout the last year. It has been a blast!

Vriendelijke groet - Heinrich

@*Hans* Thank you Admiraal. I am slowly getting used to the characteristics of the notenhout which helps with confidence. I don't know how I will do with oak! :D
