Stern Rail Construction

Thanks to a days holiday taken in case I needed to recover from the weekend (a quick trip around the M25 on a Sunday night, lovely) I’ve managed to get the wooden top rail of the boat sorted. As you can see from the photo, sanding and carving has progressed well. The glue held and I’ve removed most of the wood I put in. The remains curve gracefully around the stern as intended. I think I know how a sculptor feels as the statue emerges from the lump of stone. Very satisfying.
