Applying the gunwale moldings
The moldings have been in the shop supported on each end and weighted in the center so they would gradually bend and achieve a curved shape needed to apply them. Of course this is just the first layer and another strip will be applied over it to make it 1 1/2 inches square. It's white oak, so it's quite difficult to bend, but the first effort looks pretty good.

Next Step:
A little more sanding on the bottom and sides. Then prime and paint bottom before turning it over.
