Cutting strips. Strongback and forms with strips stored below, protected from drips, and sorted by color.	Helper clamps the part of the strip I've cut to prevent it from falling. The forms are on the strongback, aligned and ready to go!	The saw on the jig, stopped in the middle of a cut. Bow at this point. We are using stemless construction.	See full sized diagram of strip cutting jig. The fiddleback maple highlight strip went in stapleless.	The last few strips from a board are cut while the board is supported by the next one. The maple strip was made from a shorter board, scarfed to length.
Here are our three colors of cedar, as well as redwood and maple.	More strips installed. Note the sorted strips below, and the tray on top for planing strip edges.	Strips are beveled to fit the curve. A good plane makes a big difference.	Strip in the tray, also useful for applying glue to the top edge.
The hull is complete, but there are a lot of staples to remove.	Staples removed, now I'm planing the glue drips off, smoothing the wood a bit.	A random-orbit sander with 60 grit paper sure smooths it off in a hurry.	Stern	Contrasting stripes are Ammann bands.
Sanding before fiberglass. No cracks are filled yet; sanding will be completed after that.	Glass cloth draped over on slight diagonal.	Colors appear with epoxy.	Maple surrounded by redwood stands out.	Maple eye, and newly added ash stem.
First coat of epoxy. We're tired.	Second coat of epoxy fills staple hole depressions.	Three layers of bias strips now cover stems.	Stems sanded.
On skateboard to move from garage.	About to come off forms.	Inside view.	Side view.	Bottom view.
Inside long view.	Inside surform planed.	Inside sanded.
