[QUOTE="Ol' Suitcase Mouth, post: 239250, member: 6938"] What an absolutely great job. I especially like how you incorporated the wood on the top of the gunwales, as it gives the boat a very classic look. Although I have been a member for a little while, I just recently got my hands on a 14' MirroCraft Deep Fisherman which I am going to start on as soon as I tie up a few other projects around the house (that way I'll stay off the wife's fecal roster). My question for you is about the gunwales...is that the same Jatoba that you used for the seats and the forward decking, or is that ash. I know that ash lends itself well to bending (ie: snow shoes, windsor chairs...). Also did you have to steam bend it to get it to fit. The pictures you provided with the aluminum gunwales removed makes it look a little too delicate to bend a piece of hardwood stock against without damaging it. Did you bend it and clamp it against the rails before you removed the aluminum gunwales first? [/QUOTE]
