: Thanks for the pictures Steve. Your striping patterns and contrasts are
: really nice. I am now working on stripping the SS stern section and I
: would like to ask a question if I can make myself clear. When you put the
: two strips on to form the keel of the stern, left side and right side, did
: you bevel the top keel edges so they fit together with a knife edge on
: top, to be sanded radius or did you just bring the two strips together
: where they form a sort of V edge and fill that in later? Or someother way?

: Thanks,
: John

John,
When I did the keel I let the 2 strips form a V at the top along the last couple of feet both both at the bow and stern. I then cut a filler wedge and glued it into place. The white cedar portion of the stern is where I stripped the hull down from the keel to tie it into the tail section. Hope that helped, If not let me know.
