Still working

I've been away from home the past two weekends and have had a busy week with the Olympics being in town. I am working away on the planking. No pictures yet, but So far I have been measuring, marking out and cutting the rest of the planks. I'll have more pictures once there is a bit more to show!

bottom plank on!

After a few days of twisting and bending and gluing both bottom planks are on. They get quite the twist at the bow. It took a few hours of playing with the clamps to finally get the board to settle in and take the shape. This was done and left overnight. The next day the positions of the clamps were traced out and taken off. The plank held the shape somewhat and made it easier to get back into position once epoxy was applied. I'm super happy to have this step done with. The rest of the planks should be easier since they wont have to get such an extreme twist.
