The first legitimate work is underway. Wanted to show several different aspects of hull plank (strake) preparation. Work at this point is relatively delicate so taking your time pays off huge dividends.
(1) The CNC routers leave little nibs here and there. I used a Dremel tool to remove the bulk of it but sand the nib flush by hand. Be careful, the Dremel will burn the wood immediately.
(2) With bulk removed a few strokes with a tiny sanding block is all it takes to finish up. The little burn you see is from the factory, not my work.
(3) Talk about delicate pieces... these will form the tip of the bow and stern.
(4) Close up of the puzzle joints which will be epoxied together to form the full strake, stem to stern.
