Bowsprit / Jibboom Combo

I was intending to work from the Bow back to the Stern on the Deck, however, in order to accomplish it, I had to make the Bowsprit and Jibboom in order to find the correct alignment for the Deck Equipment.

I didn’t like the wood that the kit provided so I am using the Pine Dowels and staining them.

I’m using Dark Walnut because it gives it a weathered look.

I had to make these Cleats from scratch because the Kit didn’t include the proper size!
