The last plank... for now, anyway. This episode doesn't feature the whiskey plank, and Steve does a very good explanation for those who have been asking about the difference between a shutter plank and a whiskey plank. We've got four shutters, and like all...

As we've been finishing the rest of the planking on the port side, we have had groups of helpers lend a hand to clean up Arabella's interior. Most recently, David and his son, Grant, card-scraped the interior and applied Danish Teak Sealer to planks and fr...

Getting the nib-ends of these full-length planks fitted into the rabbet fore and aft is one of the hardest tasks of planking Arabella. Since we don't have any wiggle room to move fore or aft, the cuts need to be dead-on for the planks to sit correctly. Add...
