@ben_kilner: The canoe build begins - laminating and bending the gunwales 🛶🚴♂️💦🤓 The gunwales are the curved sides of the canoe that result in the front and back (bow and stern) being higher in the water to help break through waves. There was a small amount of spring-back after bending which was expected but the wood should now keep this shape. Next step will be to split this piece of wood into two 👀😬 #woodworking #boatbuilding #canoe #laminating #pedalpaddle #benkilner
