A Small Canoe

 With the essential frame completed, I decided to continue the canoe sequence in a new entry.  The next step will be to fair the hull in preparation for sheathing with narrow planks.  Most of the fairing will be easy; however, the stems will require drastic reduction from their present rectangular cross-section, instead tapering to a point at their outside edge.  I usually do that using an angle grinder with a coarse flap disk, checking frequently by laying a plank section along the ruling lines.

 

The chine stringer has been freshly bonded in place.  Four cockpit edging pieces are resting in place but will require trimming and will not be finally bonded in place until after other decking is completed.

I doubt if much progress will occur over the year-end holiday season.
