Curious about Wooden Canoes
Folks;
I m tying everything together now and I am worried about the overall shape of the canoe. I'm not sure where the thwarts should be fastened, and once I figure it out and the thwarts are properly secured will the shape "center" on its own? I am "eyeballing" the shear at the ends and every time I look things over the ends don't look balanced. There is a lot of give in everything right now, up, down, twist left and right.
If anyone has a suggestion on how to true out the overall shape I could use some advice.
Thanks; Troppo
