Capping the Skeg

The skeg is made up of layers of marine ply with outer layers of iroko. The next step is to cap over the end with iroko pieces to provide a strong outer surface.

Each piece of Iroko is planed to fit and then glued in place. I decided that, rather than attempt a perfect fit at the sides, to leave an overhang to be planed off later.

The photograph below shows the last two pieces being fixed.

I have some more planing to do, but the photograph below shows the cleaned up job.
