I did go back and reworked the leather end pieces. They at least look symmetrical and certainly finish off the ends.
If I did it again, I would work harder at finding nicer leather. But this is what I had, I improvised and made do. I am certain, it will outlast me.
Still to come: Fastening hatch covers, sanding and another 1-2 coats of paint on exterior, finish spars, build a mast, get some line.
