Fitting the gunwales….

Early Morning: Flinders Ranges
Mark Pearse

 

Delicate brush work from Mark….looks like he grabbed a scrap of wrapping paper, and got to work.

It reminds me of the beautiful ink paintings of Sesshu Toyo: a Japanese master from the 15th century.

I have just glued the number two Bass rib edgewise to the Centre-rib, and glued both to the neck block.

No going back.

In fact, the adhesive can be reversed, if need be….but I am not inclined to retrace my steps.

From now on, I will try to adopt the Wabi Sabi approach:

honouring  imperfections….
