Default Kayak - cockpit combing

Another wow!
Very interesting.
Looks like it is coming along well.
Do I see some sanding to be done on the body?
That is not fiberglass so it is a water based epoxy coat.
I imagine you can sand and do more coats as necessary.

I am working on a round wooden rdwd table.
I found an old water tank with a bottom that I salvaged and dried.
I put it back together with dowels etc. and now trying to come up with a
design for table legs, etc.
hummmm
nice kayak.
When are you sailing away?

Here's a few shots of the cockpit combing and rim comming together. It's
ash BTW.

I Tack-welded the first couple few pieces with holt melt glue and then
found that they would stay put with just rubbing the yellow glue.

If I ever do this again I'll orient the pieces perpendiular to the
adjacent opening edge, rather than vertically. It would take a little
tapering, but I think it would look a bit better and would leave me
stair-step top surface to rasp away.

Thanks for looking,

Steve
