Day 2, canoe round 2. Temporary spreaders in place, stems on, keel in place temporarily to check rocker. This is how I build, and how I teach: no molds. You can see the mortises lining the underside of the gunwales- ribs will be cut to size, bent to shape and fitted into each mortise.
Next challenge: adjusting my rib measurement system to pull some of the fullness out of the ends of the boat from the last iteration.
