    Welcome back 😀 hopefully it won't be too much longer before I can put an end to this story 🙄 maybe when she is done I will have her blown up in the next James Bond movie and that will be that, depending on how many pieces she is in 😉😁

    At last a bit of dry weather

    managed to get her flipped back up and started to clean up the side panels, the black marks are from metal and go deep into the wood "you see this alot around screws or nails" it can't be sanded out but "bar keepers friend " dose a good job of removing it, I just make a paste and put it on for a few minutes then wash it off. Weather back to normal now 🙄

    Stained the sides and center board with Grain Guard black ebony then sealed it with WEST SYSTEM Epoxy leveled it off and gave it 3 coats of Epifanes pp vernis extra, I'm not going to varnish it till I'm finished climbing in and out of her but she should be sealed and protected now.

    But one thing we've see consistently over that time is that your track record on getting the job done is 100% and whether it's 2025 or beyond when you recreate this picture isn't what matters.
