Once in awhile, someone catches me unawares. BiggTim has, on occasion, chastised me for not, every now and then, building in wood. Then, during one of my infrequent sojourns into the drunken bliss of homemade corn whiskey, a member here dared me to actually build a meaningful model of an historic ship..... in wood. Any other time, I would have blurted out “get stuffed” or something similar, at that moment of reduced faculty, I agreed.
Three weeks later, this is sitting on my doorstep. Game on.
