Sprucing up the Mast!!

I decided to have a break from the hull this evening, so I laid the mast out on a bench and set to with my new belt-sander. What a brilliant tool. It's gone from a tired looking, weathered old flaky mast to a really nice piece of spruce.

Note the convenient use of a set of aircraft chocks to raise it off the bench!

I should get some varnish applied fairly soon.
