cosine wherry fill coats
The Wherry is ready to be turned over. The skeg and keel are attached, three overlapping layers of glass are applied   and epoxy has been added to fill the weave of the cloth.
I can start on the inside next, more sanding to follow...

Cosine Wherry seal coat
The seal coat has been applied, and the real colours of the cedar are popping out.  The stem and little arrow features are yellow cedar, everything else is just variations in colour on red cedar, from dark chocolate to pale. I love the Wood available here!

cosine wherry stripped to centerline
Have stripped one side up to the center-line of the boat, and cut back to the line. Will strip the other side now, letting the strips run long at the bow(where they will pass over the first side) and then cut again to make a gap for the center strip. I've set aside matching strips, so that the pattern  on the bottom stays symmetrical. these bottom strips have to be stapled, as I can no longer reach around the hull with the fishing line.
Cosine Wherry Centerline
The center strip installed, waiting for the glue to dry, clamped with ratchet straps. The center strip is 3/4 inch square, and will be planed down inside and out to match the hull thickness.  On the bow I've laminated a yellow cedar outer stem.When the glue is dry, and all the screws removed; it will be faired into the hull.
