latest project

As you can see ive started working on the inner trim getting it setup and ready to be glued and clamped (pic A).It was tricky getting the ends to matchup but i got it .The past week has been working on the details of the canoe like the gluing up of the in yoke pic B and building the thwart in picture c.I also finished one of the seats (pic D)...Its looking awesome =) It doesnt look like alot but it sure feels like it .

If you look up at pic B you'll see what happened to it below i made the yoke thats sitting next to thwart .I also sealed the seat ,yoke and thwart with epoxy the color really comes with the gloss .

As you can see I trimmed the sides up to the inner trim(picA)That will be the shape the top takes looks cool huh =).In pic B i put the seats on the so you can get an idea of where the seats will be ...of course the frame of the seats wont be hanging out like that they will be cut and dropped down 2 inches from the inner trim and will be hanging with bolts and wood pegs.Picture C is of the deck see it attached to the canoe A W E S O M E ! ! ! that little piece was alot of work and blood !!!...you see the different colored backing on the deck (the combing) Thats what i was sanding when i sanded the finger nail to the skin...and yes it still hurts LOL...next im gonna hve to flip the canoe over and sand the epoxy ...i hate sanding!!!!

The hull has been sanded ...i may sand some more not to sure...as you can see ive cut the seats ,thwart and yoke to fit it looks awesome =) The plugs on the outer trim will be cut off and sanded even .I cant wait for the glory work the varnishing =)
