The stem is made up of six 3/4" pieces of Phillipine mahogany. There are three lower stem pieces and three upper stem pieces. Tom started work on it by first laying out the six pieces using the template and then rough cutting them on the bandsaw. The upper and lower pieces were then epoxied together making three pieces. The template was then attached to the center piece and used to trim the stem on the router to shape. The three pieces were then epoxied together. Next, the center piece will be used as the template by the router to trim the outer pieces to match.
Row, row, row your boat...life is but a dream.
