We considered several shapes for the bow stem on MARGARET ROSE, and settled on hybrid shape that drew elements from our Penobscot 14 ST. JACQUES' stem and the stem on our O'Day Day Sailer II CYANE. CYANE's bow is what Capn Jack called a Destroyer bow, almost plumb and full at the foot, so we used the upper 2/3 for that shape and used the quick run to horizontal from the Penobscot stem.
Cut the shape of the inner stem out of pattern plywood with our DeWALT 20V jigsaw, it still purrs like a kitten.
Smoothed the edges to get rid of splinters and sanded off the multiple stem shapes we had drawn with a 120 grit disc on the DeWALT 20V random orbital sander.
Clamped the inner stem to the keel to see if we like the fair curves.
