Note the straps. The tops of a few ribs separated from the inner gunwale when I was working on others. I added the straps to keep them all in place until I get to putting on the outer gunwale. Seems to be working.
Also went out to the Cape a couple of weeks ago and Dave and I cut some planking from an 8' Western Red Cedar board on his fancy macines. We got 3 4" wide 8' long planks - 24' should be more than enough. The board was quite expensive as it was quarter sawn. After the fact, we realized that Dave has lots of left over cedar siding from his house - yep, it is western red cedar and we could have cut and planed it down to planking thickness. Oh well - next project!
I purchased a couple of 2.5x2.5x12" ash boards from Woodcraft to create shapes to repair the stems and decks. I cut a few pieces out on Dave's band saw when we were working the planking. Still a bit of figuring to do to figure out how I want to do the repairs.
