Attaching the keelson and stems

The keelson is the main spine of the boat.  It's yellow cedar, and it's nearly 1" x 1"

Here we attach the keelson to the station molds.

These stems are cut out of 3/4" maple plywood.

For this version, we decided to glue the stems to the keelson.  Technically you should only have to lash it, but this felt more secure.

We did attach lashing, but mostly for ascetics.
