I've canvased her and the compound is curing. I'm ready to start on the outside gunnels, but I'm not sure how the deck,gunnels, and stem all come together. This area was all but missing when I found the boat, so I have no idea how it was originally finished. Doe anyone have a close up picture or a drawing of a OTCA 17 stern or bow? Thanks in advance!

The pictures below show an Otca from the 1930s that should be very similar in shape to yours. Eric Beeby's pictures of the restoration of his Guide from the 1920s at http://www.wcha.org/Beeby-canoe/intro.html may also help. The guide at http://forums.wcha.org/knowledgebase/BuildRestore:Rebuild+rotted+tips is probably your best resource. Let me know if this doesn't answer your question.
