43) Flip and Rip

Tonight, I bolted on the thwart and flipped the canoe over. The first coat on the outside has been thinned by 10%. This allows for easier spreading on the sanded epoxy. It is nice to finally see the what the finished canoe looks like. I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.... only 5 or 6 more coats of varnish and a lot of wet sanding! Woohoo!
Here are my helpers/ audience tonight.

Thats a good lookin thwart. The brass bolt heads look nice with the varnished cherry.

At the beginning.

At the end.
