i intend to video it all when I it comes
I could do that but then I’d have to try to cut out all the parts on one board on my jigsaw and try to get exact matches. For some parts that would be easy but for the keel with all the indentations it would be quite a challenge. I’m going to experiment with using Danish Oil and seeing if the color differences are as great when the wood is treated. Thanks for the suggestion.This quite happened to many of us in the past. We are humans and humans are prone to mistakes. It is an unfortunate situation (one forgot to send, Holidays delay shipment, and COVID) but always, look at the bright side.! May I give you a suggestion? Can you contact @Dave Stevens (Lumberyard) he has lot's of cherry boards, Sent him the board for parts they should match and he will try to find for you a perfect match (I think). He might find it from the scrap so you pay only for shipping. Try it never hurts...
P.S. I tagged Dave, he will see my reply
Before using oil, can't you try to use some cherry stain to bring up the color? After oiling you can t do this anymore.I could do that but then I’d have to try to cut out all the parts on one board on my jigsaw and try to get exact matches.

I tried experimenting with natural, cherry and Walnut versions of Danish Oil and couldn’t get the wood anywhere close to matching. Also found other boards with much different shades.B

Hello, my friend. I think we should give a Trident some credits. This is a relatively new studio (a few years old), they are just learning all business rules). They have difficult times now with the fulfillment of all orders for the SOS members. On top of this, they move the studio to a larger location so they can work much efficiently. Also, they trying to establish a website so SOS members can purchase kits much faster. Don't forget, the kit is not sold to anyone else except the SOS members.I thought the quality of the timber should be something better than this, a pity that Trident has not given you the compensation you were promised, your work looks very good, good luck, I'm watching with excitement.
