In Response To: Need suggestions with bow & stern stems (Spidey)

Now I am kinda leaning toward the external stem built as you describe. I haven't cut & trimmed the bow as yet, and if there's any irregularities after trimming, I suspect I could really clean it up by planing back to allow for the laminations. Plus, I now have a good end-grain plane!

Best Regards, Spidey
