One step close to a spring build, today the form top was closed in , holes drilled for strongback bolts and sanding begun. Galvanized steel is sheared and ready to go on, and stems continue to dry on the form, soon to be split, beveled and mounted. After final sanding the bands go on, and a bending form needs to be built to steam bend the upturn in the gunwales.
