Inwale spacers

More progress on the inside.  Last night I put the inwale spacers in place.  I put 13 on each side at 1 foot spacing from aft to fore.  I first made them from some old decking material I had in the wood pile.  It looks like ipe, though it wasn't as resinous as I have seen ipe.  I ended up using some mahogany I had left from earlier steps.  I did a test glue up of the decking.  What ever species it is, it's incredibly tight grained and hard.  I'll use it somewhere I hope where I can add a few screws as well as the epoxy.  I've been filling in small gaps between the hull plywood and the hog with left over epoxy as well.

  1. Hi, Greg. Thanks so much for doing this. I got my plans a couple of weeks ago. Still trying to get a handle on it. Did your son stick with it?
