In Response To: Repost Photos? (grant)

: David: I visited your website again today to check on the progress of the
: Cirrus (you are a few months ahead of me).

Months?? Get to glueing and cutting, it would only be days!

It is looking good. I noticed
: the deck panels are different colours. Did you use different wood or is
: this just a function of the photo?

The different color is simply turning over the panels of Luan. The best side (lightest) is pretty but I wanted a contrast without looking for mahogany or something. You could really get fancy by turning the panels as you scarf, but I get confused as to what will end up where. I tried to make a design of an arrow.

: Also where did your previous photos go? I was hoping to use your website as a
: reference when I start to build.

Sorry about that, I will repost them, I am trying to keep up with bowhunting for deer, building the yak, and keeping up with the documentation on the website, ha. I don't know how those guys do it!

I will do some more organizing of the website soon and post more pictures. I just finished putting the final putty on the deck (no wires now). A scraper makes short work out of fairing the putty bumps to the wood and cleaning off the excess putty.
