back-bone

This afternoon I joined the two side at the back, which was a very tricky, awkward business. Then, this evening, I made endless adjustments to the sub-structure, to get it all to fit well.

Boat-back bent-wood trim

After soaking the trim for 18 hrs (in my custom-built wood soaker), I today bent my trim around my former. This will go around the top of the easily-removable boat-back rear section - continuing the line of wood trim in the front cockpit. I will also need a pair to go on the inside top edge.
