Not that they're finished, but I can honestly say I have three spars. As most of you know, there is nothing quite like holding a smooth solid piece of wood that you've shaped your self. Very rewarding. I have high hopes for these sticks and I'm very happy with how they're coming along.
I have fiberglass cloth to wrap the bottom end of the mast but my order of tape is on hold for now (TX200 takes priority for the Duckworks folks). I'll spend a few nights hand sanding just to knock down little bumps and such. Then 'glass and coats of 'pox. I think I'm going to look for some brass tubing to line the lashing holes a la Alzuger of Brooklyn.
My next phase will be foils.
