Re: Cheek plate size
In Response To: Cheek plate size (Mikael Östlund)
I usually make it about 6" wide at the top and tapering towards the bottom. Measure the distance between the coaming and the bottom of the hull and make the length of the cheek plate about 1" shorter.
Oak should work fine for the lip.
