A little more progress... the hulls are cleaned up a little, just using scrapers and we have begun adding the stem and stern pieces. Just a double laminate of 1/8" thick strips that are bent using a heat gun. The heat gun makes the lignum [the natural glue that holds the wood fibers together] soften and you can bend a long way, much further than you might expect.
Next comes the big clean-up, lots of sanding and then the fiber glassing. We spent a few hundred bucks this week ordering glass fiber matting and Mas Epoxy resin. We are very lucky to have Newfound Woodworks on our 'doorstep' so we took a trip over there to get the epoxy resin and some other supplies. They had the best price on Mas epoxy that I found anywhere!
