applying epoxy

This is the "Fine" sliding eat rowboat from the previous video, all sanded and having the cloth applied. I use a squeegee to push the epoxy through the weave of the cloth,  and press the cloth against the hull.

sliding seat rowboat in cedar strip  maple gunwales
Picture
The boat is off the forms, and last week I sanded and glassed the inside of  the hull. I made up the gunwale stock yesterday, and routed the bottom edge and glued it this afternoon. Tomorrow I'll sand the hull flush with the gunwales,  and start on the bulkheads and maybe the decks.
The shiny thing on the top of the radial arm saw is a lid for a cedar strip case for my wife's new ukulele.
You can build all sorts of things with cedar strip!

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 progress

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.

Starting a new Cosine Wherry

flat sawn strips cosine wherry
I've started a new Cosine Wherry to be delivered to West Vancouver. The first dozen strips are flat-sawn as opposed to the vertical grain strips that are more common. I think they will look like ripples on still water, especially once the glass and epoxy are applied. Nice dark cedar too, always amazes me the variation in colour in the red cedar.  The little line of chevrons is yellow cedar, for a nice contrast.
