Cutting inner and outer stem blanks out of 4x4 cypress, 25 inches each. Cut them long so we can shape the top and bottom.
Stem angle set at about 12.5 degrees using the mockup piece and a bevel.
I cut across the top to get a 7/8 inch flat.
The plank will lay come into the outer stem at a 90 degree angle.
Inner stem on left, outer stem on right with the cutout for a 15/16 inch thick plank.
Bending a batten to check the height of the sheer. It came to withing 1/4 inch of the mark we made based on scaling the photo.
Checking to see where the top plank will hit the bow stem. It looks pretty good compared to the Drascombe Lugger sheer in the background.
Bent a batten to see where the top plank will meet the bow stem.
Mock up of how the stems, side planks, bottom plank and keel strip will tie together.
Bent a batten to see where the top plank will meet the bow stem.
Bent a batten to see where the top plank will meet the bow stem. The pencil mark was our guess based on scaling up the photo.
