The wherry is upright!

The wherry has been removed from the forms, and sanded and glassed on the interior. It's starting to look like a boat, next will be fitting of the gunwhales.

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...

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!

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.

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.
