Prop Sail and Mast

Today I built part of a ship for a project. It needed to feel like an old vintage ship and I only needed a small portion since the camera would be so close. It was a lot of fun to figure out the sail and trying to match the research from the web. After it was finished I went back and aged the fabric so it didn't look so new. The hardest part was finding the right size log to use as the mast. Once I found it, I striped off the bark, stained and aged the log adding a fake iron strap that I made and natural rope. Everything turned out great and photographed well!
