New glass is down with a saturation coat. I will do a fill coat tomorrow and see for sure how it is going to look, but i think it will be fine. I can see it because I know it is there, but I don't think the seam will jump out to someone who does not know that it has been spliced.

Re: Stripped NorthWind
Looks good from here Darrell.
I still can't understand how you can get so much done in such a short time - maybe it's connected with your overly tidy workshop

Re: Stripped NorthWind
I wiggled it, shook it, cussed at it, drank a beer,wiggled some more, drank a beer, cussed a little more, drank a beer, shook it some, drank another beer and then it came off of the forms . Started sanding the inside and I am very impressed with the weight so far.

Re: Stripped NorthWind
Cedar and Redwood have a toxin in them which kills the bugs that want to invaded then , you are suffering from an overdose of that by sanding them and breathing the dust.
I have warned folks about that on my web site and thought you were aware of it , Guess Not.
To repeat myself........ When sanding , sawing or working with any of those woods make sure you have a good respirator ( Breathing mask ) on and plenty of ventilation or you will have sinus , headaches and other respiratory problems which are NO FUN.
The sap wood is full of them , yep the same wood that makes the boat look so good when it is done.
Even something as simple as carving a small figure from them and then sanding it with an Emory file ( fingernail file ) can do the same to a person , it does not take a lot of the dust to trigger an attack , just depends on the person.

Re: Stripped NorthWind
Chuck thanks for posting that here. I had read that on your site and do wear a mask, but a little dust will invaribly sneak by so I am taking a hiatus from the sander until iy clears a little
