Lilian. Carvel planking.

I have decided that carvel planking is more or less the most fun you can have with your clothes on. Back on Lilian, I learned all about bevel sticks, shut planks and another way of spiling by use of dividers which is fast and accurate. I also made myself a natty brass planking bevel gauge. It’s really satisfying getting a plank to sit just so on the planking seam so there are no gaps, before planing in a lovely caulking seam two thirds of the way into the thickness. And thunking a shutter plank home has a satisfying completeness to it. I look forward to doing much more in the near future.
