After cutting out the blanks which make up the front sections of the Iroko rubbing strakes, it was time to cut the bevel on to the blank to give the rubbing strake its lower angle to meet up with the base section.
Once that was cut there was a far amount of shaping as the bench saw could only get a close angle, not the exact angle. So with the aid of an electric power planer, it was able to get the correct angle.
A profile pattern was made of the original shape so that when making the new rubbing strake it will be the same profile as the original
To make the rounded edge of the top of the rubbing strake we sometimes use electric tools to get the original profile
