notched wood work and wooden nails - real long ones. Then tons of horse hair tarred up real good and jammed between the planks sorta kept the water out!~keels were often made from two or three pieces and would be notched by specialists called mechanics found first at wooden shipyards - then as home builders et al.
Do these models come with extra hull planking wood? Incase you mess up somewhere?

No, you have to have extra wood on hand for those foul ups. Steve.

Mostly bass wood for the insides and exotic woods on the outside if the ship is not to be painted. If to be painted the outside woods don't matter that much - use Limewoods, Bass woods and Mahogany.

How much cutting and cleaning is done of the mwaterial suplied in the kit, I mean is it a raw box of wood, or is it CNC stock, if so I magion you guys have seen some major changes in shipwright work since the CNC machines have become popular. Lat how much does a kit like this cost and where do you get them

Even a kit is a build from scratch affair as you have to complete most parts that are cut or cast - seldom see perfect parts. Then many parts are out of scale and need replacements built. Check out Model Expo - Google them.
