Paul, there is a good website put up by Pete from Snohomish who is a contributor to this bbs that you may find helpful. He describes the process for rounding the combing edges to eliminate the sharp edges and give it a nice finished look. You will find a good description and photos on his site.

The website is cats paw Kayak assembly http://www.wiredweb.com/~mntnhead/home.htm

I'm close to finishing the construction of a Pygmy Arctic Tern. The coaming
: seems to both have a quite large overhang and be quite sharp (it's made
: from a single 3/16" (?) piece of plywood). What have other people
: done with this?

: Should I just leave it as is? Trim it back and round it off? Other?
