Mississippi River Skiff update: cutwater

Yesterday we formed and brazed the cutwater for the skiff.
Here is the piece before installation.  We also drilled and counter sunk 4 holes.  It will be screwed to the cherry bow.
To see the blog entry and a photo of the bow stem before it was installed, click this link:

Last night we bedded the brass in West Systems 407 thickened epoxy and screwed it in.

Ramming speed!


The piece relaxed a bit but will have more curvature when it is installed.
