Next, I used Golden Oak stain on the mast. While that was drying, I added the bolt ropes to the sails.
Today, I laced the bonnet (lower sail piece) to the main sail. It took a long time to do, but wasn't difficult.
To help keep the holes in the sail large enough to pass the small rigging line through, I took a sewing needle and glued it into a handle. Sort of a modeler's marlin spike. Later, I also cut open the eye of a needle and mounted that into the other end, so I can lightly grab rigging lines with it too.
