Sultana build log – Part 27

Using 1/16″ x 1/16″ strips, I have filled in part of the counter. It’s clear that I’ll need some filler to patch the gap between the hull planks and the counter planks.

Next, I want to glue on the transom end pieces and then I will be able to fill in the remaining space. My transom end pieces are three laser cut pieces, 1/32″ thick, which bend easily. The three pieces will be sandwiched together to form the transom shape with its recesses.

However, before I attach those pieces, I should put the windows in place.
