Cedar Kayak - Day 10


After laying about 5 strips along the sheerline on both sides of the kayak, I decided to put a series of strips down the centerline. I have to shape every end of the strips to fit the angles. Our new Horizontal Belt Sander makes this easy work compared to using a block plane or pocket knife that I've seen used in the book!




These photos show the pattern that is developing. I am very happy with the way it is turning out. I think I am past the toughest angles now. The rest of the strips will lay horizontal, without the need to twist back to verticle like they did on the
ends.
