Aye, she's a buxom lass, she is.  <;-)  I wish you all joy of finishing her so the guys with metal-flake bassboats can start admiring her, too.

Thanks Michael,

A Buxom Lass, she is!  :-)  . . . 

Take care,

   You aren't alone. 

I'm building a NED in my basement. 

Granted, it is covered in 3 layers of epoxy now and waiting for me to break out the sander again, but I do the same thing. 

There is just something about getting your hands on something big, beautiful and functional that you built from a pile of wood. 

I imagine that I'll still do the same thing once I'm done sanding, priming, painting and varnishing. (and probably in between all those steps too)
