Making a new keel floor bearer and getting ready to steam new mahogany rubbing strake/ gunwales round the 8ft dinghy in the workshop

Making up the pieces that will make up the new forward keel floor bearer in Mai Star II 

The first piece planed down to thickness  and the other bits getting the same treatment.

 

When they are all made up they will be glued together with West Epoxy and then the final fitting will take place.

The rubbing strakes/gunwales now machined up and ready to be steamed in place 

Just checking the grain direction is the correct way round so it will make is easier to steam round the top edge of the dinghy hull
