You can "patch" the voids with feature pieces rather than matching ones. Marquetry or parquetry could be worked in with the intact parts of the burl as background.

I re-published the video and got a new code. It works now. Many thanks for all the help.

Actually Mike it was a lot easier than I thought it would be. One warning though, there are 133 frames in the animation. The pieces were set up on the floor. The camera was on a tripod so that for...
The link is fixed. I actually had to re submit to YouTube and get a new code.

That's unbelievable! I'd love to hear the story but for now I'll make the annotation that you suggest and re-submit the video to YouTube and see if the new code works.
Are those the only four...
I recently posted a project in the appropriate forum along with an animated video of the piece (a marquetry box) turning itself inside out.
The YouTube ID code is X****LjyH9g. This ID is in both...

A couple of years ago I built a reversible marquetry box....
Hi Julie,
Sounds like this is a theoretical question as this boat isn't likely the one so I'll give you my take with a generic response.
You will have to excuse my wood boatbuilder's bias.
The...
All 14. Anyone else have water delivered to the house by the bucket a couple of times a week by horse and wagon ... and then the same team (different wagon ) on other days to haul away the "honey". I...
The owner edited the access. Maybe he got comments he didn't like or whatever but he / she may have edited it to "private". All it takes is a click of the mouse.
I have a full build blog on the bench elsewhere but apparently I'm not allowed to give you a link here. It explains the square holes in detail. I will PM you the link. The bench isn't better known...
Wayne, it can be removed completely in less than a minute when you don't want a vice handle in your way and the chop can be elevated so that it can work against a dog in the bench top. There are a...
Jim, if your bench is 3" maple the wagon vices are a really easy retrofit. ...
Did you mean V8 wedge vice? If you do decide to go that way, let me know and I'll give you all the help I can. It works great and will do things a screw vice can't. I live on Cowichan Bay in B.C.,...
I have a friend who is very knowledgable in the small boat world. You should check out his blog (doryman@ blogspot)The blogs themselves have lots of info on all kinds of small boats and there are...
I used two wagon vices on this bench. They can easily be made in a day and only cost a few bucks. They are versatile and extremely powerful plus there is no protruding screw and handle to bruise your...
Look into S1 sealer from System Three. This is a very thin epoxy that actually penetrates the pores of the wood and then crosslinks to form about the best seal you can get on wood. I've used it on...
Good luck in your search. Your boat is out there , you just have to find it.
Doors / boards is definitely a personal preference thing. I have no trouble with my doors being in the way and I sail a lot. They stay closed and I either step over them or open and close them to get...
I've built several sailboats in your size range, all with doors as opposed to drop boards. They are really pretty easy but there are a couple of things I would point out about converting boards to...
Hi Julie
I'm new to this forum but maybe I can shed some light. I am a retired wood boat builder from BC Canada. The traditional woods for exterior bright work on yachts have always been teak and...
In my opinion, the easiest way to veneer (and the cheapest) is with a veneer hammer an hot hide glue. Fine furniture has been made this way for centuries. There are lots of good videos and...
Good to know you have a resolution to the problem at hand.
The age of the material is the best guess I have at this point. Two years could be a problem especially if subjected to extremes in temperature. Doing it on the hottest day should not have caused...
Be careful with too much heat. The epoxy will become thermoplastic. I didn't mention it because in summer temperatures you should be trying to slow the reaction not speed it up. There is something...
