Carved out basswood hull with lilac timbering and thwarts. Cannon barrels are turned from brass, then chemically blackened. Metalwork is duplicated in annealed iron or nails left in their natural state. Pedestals are turned from osage orange. Masts, spars, and tops are applewood.
Tops have natural knees for additional structural strength.
Blocks are either mountain mahogany or lilac. Forestay and mainstay are served. Richard is accepting commissions.
