I started putting in the inwales yesterday. I decided that rather than have them meet up flush to the thwarts and breasthooks and stem, I'd have them tapper off at their ends. This makes it a little easier and in the end will look just fine.

the inwales (3/4"x1/4" yellow pine) will be glued in as well as screwed thru to the
outwale with 1-1/4" ss screws. |
These inwales are mainly there so that I can fasten thru them to the out wale and make a sandwich of the plywood sides, for protection and strength and the layers of different wood will look nice when finished.
