Hello all, Pam gave me a sample of the sections she milled to get that cool coaming.
She used a pattern rig and a router to mill the parts from a strip of the appropriate wood to match the strip on the deck. She then sanded the sections to get the curve right. She used a similar technique to build the seat, sections roughly shaped to fit her, then several were clamped together, aligned to match the deck pattern, shifted till right, glued up and sanded to final "comfort". Lots of work, great craftsmanship!! Pics of the seat on the Newfound page at my site.
Hope this helps,
Steve
