How to make gunwales?
Posted: Fri Sep 19, 2014 7:26 pm
I am in the middle of building the DK Touring canoe and have come to the point where the outside hull is ready for me to put the fiberglass cloth on. At this point the directions stop and tell me that this boat will need gunwales and that I need to consider how I want to install them with the fiberglass installation. All of that is well and good, I'll probably just tape off the area and install the gunwales wood to wood above the glass as that seems the least risky way to do it.
But here's the question. Where do these gunwales come from? Do i just go get some lumber and glue it on? What kind of lumber should I use and what size? There's nothing in the directions that tells me what to do and I'm very reliant on the directions
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
