Strip Cedar Canoe
|
|
 Slowly working up the topsides |
 And around the bilge… |
 |
 Planked up to the centreline on one side, before… |
 …and after trimming the strips back. |
 The hull planked… |
 The stems glued on |
 and 300 nail holes filled with 2mm dowel – actually quite a theraputic job! |
 The Hull sanded ready for its sealer coat of epoxy |
 Sealer coat applied, ready for the… |
 Fibreglass cloth. |
 The inside ready to be sanded – probably the worst job in the entire build! |
 Inside sealed with epoxy and waiting for the fibreglass. |
 Gluing on the gunwhales required only a few clamps! |
 The Aft deck – a bit of a nightmare to get all the parts to fit, but the decks ended up looking great |
 First seat frame made and caned |
 Inside painted, gunwhales and hull varnished. |
 20th Sept 2006 – The finished item – stern seat, yoke, and bow slider seat installed… she’s ready for launching! |
