Having raised topsides and a flush-deck Roach has a lovely wide Mahogany sheer plank which will be Coelaned when the weather improves.
A task I have to do before that is carving her name on both the port and starboard bow. I have bought and sharpened some lovely old shaped chisels for the job but..... I am scared.....What if I c**k it up?
Has anybody handy out there ever carved a name board and can give me some handy tips on how to do this well (as I only have one go at it). I know, like all things Classic boaty - there must be a secret techique I could do with learning first....
Many thanks,
PS I don't want name boards, I want to go straight onto the sheer plank.
