Re: Island dwellers attend Swap Meet
Here's a couple pics of 'the Lady' on the rotisserie. I have treated the piece, which was carved from a single white pine log, with a combination of borate products to inhibit further rot, marine epoxy, polyurethane adhesives such as 3m's 5200 and sikaflex and all manner of steel pipe, perforated to carry these products where needed. The steel pipe remained in place, giving added structural reinforcement. The last phase will be a display stand of welded steel mostly encased in wood, such that she will once again be upright as on the ship 'America' which went aground here in the San Juan Islands in 1914.
