The deck is starting to take shape. This is the first step in the process. I'll strip almost the entire deck, then cut out a lot of it for inlays and design.
Beginning to lay out the design for the deck. This took me a while because everything needed to be symetrical.
You can't really tell in this picture, but the deck is covered with pencil marks for the layout.
In this picture, you'll see that I have filled in some of the area that is to be cut out and later inlaid with other types of wood. I had so many lines on the deck, I decided to color it in so I wouldn't make any mistakes when I began to cut.
I began cutting at the bow and worked my way to the stern.
In these photos I'm about half way cut out in one and fully cut out in the other. I just need to clean up a few edges and then I can start my inlays.
Here's a shot of Lucy's stern after Marie got the outside stems epoxied on. She's finished striping her hull and is ready to sand and prep for glassing her up!

Whoa Man! That's one hell of a woman you have there.......and I'm talking about Stella......
You guys are creating family heirlooms! Unbelievable how great those are tunring out. I can't wait to give on a paddle some day.
I think you have a good thing going there, and, well, I am pretty sure all the boys will be chasing you around bozeman with those boats on top of that baja.... so cute!
