Thanks for your input. I do overlook things. Roy

Go ahead. Just throw one in there. Why not right. Trust me I don't paddle well enough to know any difference. Oh that reminds me of a time in my youth. When we moved to TN, back in the 70's, our property border a creek. It varied in width 6 to 12 feet wide, and up to 5 feet deep. I found an old...

I believe this will do it 👍 Got the bow stem to go.

Thank you. Yes you cleared a lot up for me. I took a hard look at your build post and saw where the stem is flush with the hull along the keel to at the first station. To where I'm pointing.That makes sense. Working on it this morning. Thanks again. Roy

Yes that is correct. I've got some hand planing to do. I appreciate all the advice from everyone. Roy

Memaquay built one last year. https://www.canoetripping.net/threads/raven-part-2.127918/ Of course he is way more of an expert than I am.

Ah to bad. I cut that thing off before my wife could talk me into another wild idea.

Yet another thing to think about. If I'm not mistaken that was in the plans I got for it, unless I misunderstood it. The outer stems run out past the inner stems about 10 inches.

Uhn, I thought about that a bit ago. Do I need to glass over the stems?

Yes that is staying proud.

Yes I need to round them off like the print shows I didn't want to rush into it. Easier to remove the wood then to put it back on. My wife wanted me to leave this sticking up and carve a dragons head out of it. Like a Viking ship.

Salvador and Pablo said to skip the seal coat. I'm confused 😕. Don't know what to do now. I didn't do a seal coat on my first one, and it turned out ok.

Well. We do have nice conversations. See I'm talking to Pablo.

Smooothing along. Rough sanded with 80 grit. Going to fill bad spots and screw holes. I am debating, with the other voices in my head, thinking of doing a seal coat. If I do, should I sand to 120 grit then seal coat and then re-sand the hull to 120 or 150? Or should I seal coat, with it rough...

Someone on here explained how to cut the fiberglass so it would lay better and be easier to work. Maybe they'll chime in and help. There's just to many curves on the ends and it really takes practice and experience to get it perfect. Luckily the polyurethane hid a lot of my flaws. I still see...

Did you put your football patch on top of the full sheet of fiberglass or under it? I put mine on top of the main sheet of glass. I didn't know what to do when I started pulling the treads out of the patch. The more I tried to work the resin out, the more threads came with it. I was awful, I...

Awesome! That really makes the wood sparkle. The word "Pop" I think has gotten over used. I love the darker spots where knots were.

I'm installing the bow stem. everything looks good 👍.Im trying to keep my straps from getting epoxy on them, but if they do there shouldn't be any higher honor then dieing on a canoe build.

I love the peace and quiet when I go. I don't go to escape the outside world or the responsibility's of married life. I don't even have a stressful job. I do like to have cell coverage, at least enough, to text my wife. I never get bored. I always busy myself with camp chores and fire wood. I...

I would do a yearly fee. I'm lazy when it comes to donations. I hope you got mine.
