Bevels
Centerboard case got its second coat of epoxy. Next week I shall get delivery of graphite, for the final coat.
While waiting for that I work on transom and stem.
Mahogany crown glued to the transom.
False stem, glued from oak slats, was cleaned and planed. Checked against the stem for matching - yep, fits well. I can then bevel the stem to finally mount it on the jig.
Transom got beveled, too. I leave unbeveled landing for the sheer strake - I’m not sure if and how it will meet the crown. That will be done when the time comes, at sheer strake installation.
Pleasant and quick job: most wood is removed with big spoke shave, trimming with rasp and final shaping with a file.
The transom will be covered with mahogany.
This is a diversion from plans and I am not sure if strakes are long enough to cover these additional 9mm of wood but I want to have a varnished transom, in my eyes it adds a lot of charm to the boat.
