Starting to set out the laid deck for the front of the Picnic boat

It has beeb a while since I have worked on the Picnic boat, it is now time to set out the planks for the laid deck on the front and aft decks for the picnic boat 


These thin planks of Mahogany will make up the major part of these deck with a thin strip of light wood going between the planks to look like a traditional laid deck  


Setting out the planks to get an idea of the amount oplanks that will be needed on both decks 


The first few weighted down with lead weights to keep their position while the forward ends are cut and shaped to fit the deck capping 


The starboard side planks cut and fitted 


Making a start on the port side 


Once these are all cut and fitted the insert will be cut and fitted between the mahogany planks
