This pic shows the bow pieces mated perfectly. This is significant as this is one of the most difficult points of the build. On a lot of blogs and websites you will see that folks actually break or crack the wood in trying to achieve the multi twist and end union. Following some great advice, we wired the bottom but just pulled the stern and stem towards each other using plastic wrap. Then sprayed the ends with water. Three hours later we wrapped once again while pinching the ends together. The ends mated PERFECTLY and easily. No cracks, breaks, or undue stresses. Worked like a dream.
