Herreshoff Columbia Tender Progress

Glue up of the Breasthook and installation of the transom supports was todays Tender progress. The breasthook will be mahogany with a oak center accent lamination




The Breasthook will be into the interior stem then planed and shaped until it fits. Fairly time consuming, trial and error, but I find it relaxing.

Next will be glueing the interior spacer blocks to the interior mahogany gunwales, then fitting them between the breasthook and transom supports. I have to pick up the pace before the cold weather inhibits curing of the epoxy and varnish.

A new species discovered. The origin, one might say.

Congratualtions to our friends in Columbia.
