Don't Spare the Clamps!



Seven mahogany strips were cut to form the outer stem lamination. The strips are 3/16” thick which stack up to a little over 1 ¼” in total thickness. The 2 ¾” wide strips bent nicely over the inner stem. A plane will be used to clean the epoxy ‘squeeze out’ from the sides of the lamination. We will remove the outer stem and then reinstall it after the planking is done.

Row, row, row your boat...life is but a dream.
