Shaping the sides and nose (all done with a skillsaw)



Final thickness:



Almost done:


All i have left on actual construction of it is making sure i have a 5 degree bevel on all edges, installing one last threaded rod thru the nose and routing the edges and hole with a roundover bit.

Then its teak oil time!

That would have only taken about 60 hours of hand sanding - I can't believe you wussed out and used the belt beast.

Reely, that is a beautiful hunk of wood. Nice going.

Nice work!

A pulpit for my 250 is on my future project list. I don't think I'll be able to turn out one as nice as yours though. For that matter, I might be challenged to make one as nice as your mock up!

I noticed the layout lines on the mockup that show where the raised part of the gunnel will fall. What are you doing to support the pulpit behind that point, where the actual deck is a few inches lower?
