Shaping the Keelson

The project is moving along very quickly...after building a few boats, it seems that most of the tasks are familiar to me...that and having John's book and very clear and complete set of plans also helps a lot.  I never thought I'd be getting the boat ready for planking in just 3 weeks.

Here is the keelson after it has been beveled.  It isn't perfect, but I think it will do.  

I re-drew the original rabbet lines in after they mostly disappeared during my sloppy trimming.

Taper to the transom came out pretty good.  I can't imagine how I'm going to bend a piece of plywood into that shape for the garboard plank.

I slapped a piece of 1/8" ply onto it to see if the bevel is going to work.  Seems like it will be fine.
