Our plan for the sailing canoe is to fabricate a mast of about three inch diameter.
To do this we ripped an eight quarter chunk of Cherry on a forty five. The two halves are screwed together with aluminum stock. Then a slot for a dado blade was ground in.
Our lovely clear Douglas fir boards are then ripped to 9/16 ths and then run through the jig.
Pictures might be clearer than my description...
Here are enough staves for our mast and maybe a spare boom.
