Shaping and sanding stern seat

April 17, 2011
I sanded and rounded off the boards for the stern seat and sanded all the thwarts to get them ready for epoxy and varnish.  I rounded off both the top and bottom of the front edge of the seat and the top and bottom of the sides where they touched the hull.  The rounding here seemed to make them fit better with the curve of the hull.  Because the manual did not say anything about gluing the pieces together to make one big seat, I've left them separate for now.

I rounded off both the top and bottom of the front edge of the stern seat as well the sides.

 I also sanded all the thwarts again to smooth them out and get them ready to glue the flotation blocks to the bottom of them.
