Looks great.

I have a question for you.

I noticed that you stripped the sides of the hull long and into the football. Then you went back and cut the football to shape, so what is your preferred method for doing this?

: I haven't setup a web page for the Outer Island yet, but I've got a couple
: hull stripping photos. I'm doing a couple things differently on this
: project: stapleless with hot-glue, bead-up stripping, and using the inlay
: techniques described on Vaclav's website.

: I'm using w. r. cedar on the sides of the hull and spruce in the football.
: Notice the pile of forms from earlier boats in the top right corner. I
: really should get them organized.

: Here's a couple direct links to photos until I get the web page setup.
