Default Harper half model sanded
Finished the carving process and began sanding the hull. The customer wanted to be included in the process so when he dropped in from Ontario, he spent a couple hours sanding his new model with me. I'll have it finished for him when he's on his way home from his travels. It's a vessel we understand his Great Great Grandfather was involved in the building of, on Beaubear's Island, here in the Miramichi River region, back in 1839.

Bob, that's pretty "slick"! It is also impressive how you include the history of each ship and boat. Besides being excellent reproductions they are learning tools!

You have rare talent, indeed!
