Inwales

I was really worried that the hull of this canoe wasn't going to straighten out when I installed the inwales. When I started this project the hull came to me without the forms so the sides were pretty floppy. In fact it had some interesting waves along the side.


I used a 7/8 x 3/4 inch inwale to give a lot of rigidity to the hull and everything smoothed out nicely. Scuppers were cut at 4" wide by a 1/4" deep, about 8 to a side. Should have plenty of wood to hang the seats from.
