Don T,

The stem idea is something I think I am going to try. I was somewhat following the book.

: Ok we need a little more info. If you are stripping the hull and following
: the original instructions in the book then you will get your strips to
: follow the contour of the stern end form and let it hang out past the
: form. The strip coming down the opposite side is fit to this overhanging
: strip. The next strip up the overhanging strip is on the opposite side You
: will have to cut a small cove in the lower strip and fit the next one into
: it if your using bead and cove.

: I did my first boat that way and in the end shaved the tips back and put a
: strip up the face of the strips. This time I am using an internal/external
: stem and am liking it better
