Graving pieces

Last night I installed the graving pieces in the bow planking to fix the iron-sick, punky wood. Here's the initial shot, with the holes chiseled out.

And the mahogany graving bits... I used the smiley faces to indicate the outboard face and proper orientation.

Mixing the epoxy. It ended up being waaay to much for what I needed, plus the pot started smoldering from the excess heat at the core. I even used slow catalyst, but that stuff got HOT!

The happy little bit installed.

And a shot of the work site.
