17/5 09






Yesterday I decided to do some little extras on the canoe. I made a laminated wood bow and stern. Its in the plan as an optional. I decided to go with to pieces of pine 10mm wide and 4mm thick. The reason I use Pine for this project is that its what I can get. I would have prefered ash.
Bending Pine thicker than 4mm is difficult.
On the pictures, you can see how I bent on a (homemade) hot tube, fitted the lamination and did a dry run with the rope before gluing. It all went quite easy. On the last photo you can see how I glued the short side runners using another very traditional method.
