Five good hours of work and we have the keelson and
chines on and lashed, the bow stem plate on, the masik carved and in,
and the rear deck stringers in. It is starting to come together nicely.

The masik. It is carved from a solid piece of pine.
Like most of the wood on this boat, it was recycled.

The stern recess cut. Unfortunately, I was a bit overzealous
with the chisel and split the grain on the stern cutwater. Fortunately,
I have lots of TitebondII and clamps left over from my strip boat. After
the glue cures I will finish the recess and install the stem plate.
