Scale model canoe builder
Well here we go. B.N.Morris canoe restoration.
Closed gunwales. I am going to have so much fun notching the Inside gunwales.
Anyway After looking at the way this was built years ago I can only come up with one idea on how they did this.
My guess is that the company bent a 4" board, then bored holes into the board, then cut the board in half to get the mortise for each rib top to set into.
Maybe I am off on this.?
Holy crap.
Cutting mortice into gunwale with router takes time. I prebent gunwales then installed them back into the canoe for the marking part.
I installed one back into the canoe and it came out very well. Next I will cut out the next inside rail and do the same.
Time, Time,Time.
