Laminated coaming and aft margin

Here we have pulled the coaming off the mold and it's laying next to the cover board. Both of these pieces stll need lots of shaping before being attached to the boat. On the right is a stack of deck panels ready to fit and install on the same boat. These panels are fabricated to fit exactly between the edges of the hatches and the hinges. We do this by adjusting the width of the indavidual planks. your eye won't see this and it eliminates extra seams and cuts in the finished deck. This is the aft margin board for the deck.This has also been resawn and then laminated back together on the same mold to match the cover board and coaming. It's subtle but when it is all completed ties everything together very nicely. Next week we will continue installing deck panels and glue on the coamings.
