Gunwales and Breast Hook

Gluing up a pair of gunwales.  Despite the designer's suggestion to use matching wood for the gunwales, breast hook and transom knees, I have leftover african mahogany for the rails and gunwales, and white oak for the breast hook and knees.  If it looks too funny, I will make everything white oak.



Breast hook blank clamped up.



My helper is cleaning the dust out of the interior after a lot of scraping and sanding.  I'm happy with the appearance of the exterior of the hull, but the laps on the interior are not perfect, mostly because of a few mistakes I made when beveling the laps.  I am getting it cleaned up slowly.



Helper 2 keeps watch from the other boat.
