We will be laminating the midship pieces and the stem. For us to get the exact shape we need we built a jig (but in this case we were fortunate enough to have some on hand). Firstly we printed out a full scaled lines drawing of the stem and tape it down. Then we screwed the jig blocks where we felt gave us an accurate guide for the strips of red ceder to rap around and follow the lines on the lines plan like in the picture and placed plastic over the jig so when gluing the strips it doesn't stick.
The strips of ceder is not flexible enough to bend around the jig so we steamed the ceder which makes the ceder soft and flexible then we clamp it to the jig to dry. When its dry the ceder takes the shape of the jig.
After this is done we un clamp the strips and start gluing the strips of red ceder like as followed.
