: Hi Peter,
: Gunwale thickness varies with builder. Some are 5/8 inch thick. If the taper
: on theends are the same on both boards it shouldn't matter too much, just
: take care with any rib mortices. The vertical dimension is more important.
: And you're 'adding' wood to the ends with the stem pieces.
