: Hi Ian,

: I looked at p15 in Macs book and it was not clear to me, so I
: checked Susan VanLeuvens book and she says to bezel the stem
: form even if you don't use an inner stem.
: That is what confused me. What you are telling me makes sense.
: I will instal the inner stem the best I can and if it does not work
: out, I will re-cut another bow stem and start all over again but
: not bezeling this time.

: Thanks Ian.
: Douglas

Douglas,
I think you could cut off the beveled portion of the form and add your laminated inner stem to it, if the form was cut to match the end of the boat. If Susan VanLeuvens book said to bevel the form, that would cause the strips to end at the end of the form. By cutting the bevel off the form and adding an inner stem of the same thickness, the stem would end at the same point as the original form. At least that's how I've been doing it.
