The bottom paint is a commercial copper refrigerator paint. The cradle is from a design in Wooden Boat Magazine. Note the cheeks and trestletrees on the mast, the panelled doors, and the teak deck. The deck is hand-sliced commercial teak veneer over a balsa sub-deck. Note the tubular fenders. They're as per prototype fenders (sometimes known as "camels", at least among several tug skippers of my acquaintance.) The core is a piece of 3-strand masons' line with an eye seized in the middle, around which are bound straight strands of same about the length of the body of the fender. Then a coat is needle-hitched around the core, the first course hanging just below the eye by passing some of the early stitches around strands in the core.
