the strips are stapled from afar (safety removed so i can shoot from 20mm's away so they don't submerge the heads) and spring clamped together
all joins are staggered
test snapping of 5 strips with the westsystem resulted in the timber snapping before the joints tore apart - that's what we want
westsystem penetration ~ 4mm's into the timber, when i coat for the fibreglassing, it will enter the pores right to the core of the timber

more strips added, only 1 layer has needed cheater strip so far, and only just above the waterline
going to sus out a few different decoration designs on it tomorrow, so doubt i will fit any strips
each layer is averaging 1 hour to sand the joint, fit and glue

got some Wenge and Blackbean on it now
takes so much longer to clamp without the bead and cove moulding on it! (twice as long~ 2 hours to a layer)
spanish cedar will continue to strip the rest of the hull, then the centre part will be covered in stripped cherry veneer (too heavy to go solid cherry)
am hoping to complete the hull by wednesday arvo

ends of the hull are complete, got my eyes on a sheet of flame mahogany for the centre part
as you can see, i don't care too much about how neat the join is between the 2 sides, it's going to be routered open, and have 10mm's of laminated tasmanian oak in it (double as a rock bash point)
you can see in the 4th photo the laser level, it's setup to show the centre line...just gotta hope the damn work experience kid doesn't move it on monday

hahaha how about this bit of burl, got 50 sheets at 1200*800
all the bottom needs is the laminated centre strip now, tassie oak for structural purposes, with wild quarter sawn american oak as the face veneer (weight difference and available length)
any idea what that whitish sheet of veneer is? i was thinking white cedar...but not sure

minor drama with the #### end, the laminate was too thick, and slowly sprung back into shape (expected this, but didn't want to use laminates, and don't have the time for the steamer to go to work on it, because i wanted to keep the quartersawn highlights, with as much shaping as i wanted....now i am limited to losing the highlights, or shaping.... small sacrifice
replaced this section with a heap of 0.5-1.5mm veneers, no chance of it springing back now, each piece reinforced by the next, with about 8 strips total (had just 2 before)
the veneers have slid down slightly, but filling this section is a simple cut with the dovetail saw
planed the front end to the round, bloody oath it looks pimp! (can't capture it in the camera though)
