Here is a shot of the end of a plank where I'm casting an epoxy wedge to square the chocks. The blue tape is the "dam" around the plank end to keep the epoxy from oozing out.

Rick Dorothy and Greg Ward built two matching skeeters, nose-to-nose, on a single 25 foot jig. The end result of this new design is nothing short of outstanding. Side panels were created after first lamenating dark and light strips of yellow tulipwood. Each strip grows and shrinks equally over the boat's entire length. Not an easy chore.
