| I made this model for my friend who is turning his patio into a Tiki lounge. I thought is needed some more atmosphere to go with his woodworking and waterfall. |

| A small hole was drilled into the booms, and the end of a toothpick added to allow the rope an anchor to tie around. All the thread was run through a block of beeswax before use. |

| The outrigger added.All the wood received several layers of Minwax Polyurethane with lots of sanding in between coats. Final sanding was 600 and 1000 grit paper with a final buff coat of a paper towel, which gives the wood a nice soft sheen. Not too glossy. |

| After it was cut out I added looped stitching along the edges so it could get tied to the masts later. |

| To give it a curve (these are called "crab claw" sails) I used 3M Spray Mount to affix the paper back to back. White glue caused it to wrinkle. As it was drying I wrapped it around a paper towel roll so it would retain the curve. |
