2/9-- The bow deck completed, before the outer gunwales are installed. |
| 2/16-- Here's the yoke shape I decided on. I modified
the shape of design I found on the now-defunct Canoebuilding.com. This
stock is 7/8" thick so I'll be able to carve a lot of relief to it. I
reduced the width to a consistent 1.5" to follow the curve into the
wide section in the center, and changed the curve along the back to
remove a little more material. This piece of ash was perfect for the job: The grain curves to match the curve of the yoke. |

2/20-- The seats are assembled and the yoke blank is cut out. |
| 2/23-- The outer Gunwales in place and sanded. That was the last major piece of construction on the boat. From now on, it's sanding, finishing and assembling. |  |
