Title: a bow in a boat. (im not sure where this goes?)
Post by: BowSlayer on September 30, 2013, 08:30:13 am

at the start of the summer i started making a boat and got up to the part where i instaled the ribs. but it was falling appart every 5 mins so i went back to the frame. after thinking of a way to make a new stem i thought "ill make a bow!" so i got some pine made a 11" static handle 2" fades and 28" working limbs. but because this was going to be part of a boat i kept it all 2" wide. no taper. im not sure where to put this post does it go here in bows because of the bow or would it need to go in around the campfire  because it's going to be part of a boat. im also thinking of a way to fix it to the main frame but ill kyak uder that bridge when i get to it. sorry if this is in the wrong section.

one idea i had is to put this wedge between the bow and frame and put dowels through it?

I expect this belong over in the Campfire section as well, ...but - This is going to be a fairly light and low displacement boat.  Is it for a child?
