ChazInMT -- I've been sitting on this waiting for my forthcoming 'Project, the Third' thread, but that's probably a week away; so here, now:

I'm thinking for a boat tail, construction of redwood benderboard (1/4"x4"x16') I have stockpiled. Over a plywood bulkhead and stringer form, steamed redwood bent into ribs and tapered or gored strips maybe 2" wide longitudinal.

Voila, compound curved redwood plywood about 1/2" thick.

Then sand to contour and one layer of glass cloth, and resin squeegeed out under Mylar plastic to get a gloss finish in one go.

Whadaya think, sirs?
