I'm so psyched!!!!! The canoe is stitched, the bow and stern come together in nice straight lines, the seams are beautiful (had to fill two places with little slivers of Okoume but they look fine and no one else will ever notice), and I checked for twist and saw none!

After many setbacks and much wringing of hands, we are ready to move on to filleting. Thanks to all of you who held my hand so far. I knew it was going to feel good when I got to this point, but phew! I feel like I won the lottery.
