The above photos show the spar hut at night and a view from the
Orcas Island ferry landing at sunrise on 02/04/09.
Below are the latest video updates showing the progress April, 2009 through july, 2010.



These photos show the two 60' 12"x12" lower mast sticks inside my sparhut. One is on the spar table.
Photo on the left shows Iris under the tripod. The photo on the right
show the lower 17 feet with the taper on four sides.
The process of putting the taper in on four sides took a long time because
I wanted to make sure I did not make a mistake. It is during this shaping that I am making sure that the spar is straight.
Both the lower main mast and lower fore mast are finished. Topmasts were finished in August.
