Kingsbury rail

[woodworker]

Does anyone have a picture of the rails on an early Kingsbury canoe? If so, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Couple photos attached. Not sure if it's early or late or mid. 1930's?

Dave thank you that was a big help. How did you bend the mahogany?

I believe that most Kingsbury canoes had regular closed gunwales so the diagram from the Morris catalog at https://forums.wcha.org/attachments/40310/ may help. This is from a general discussion at https://forums.wcha.org/threads/15625/ about bending gunwales.
