More work...

Last night I removed the wedges holding the graving blocks in while the epoxy cured. They were minimally glued in as well, and with a little convincing with my reefing hooks and chisel they came out just fine. Then I planed them down flush... just a little paint and they should disappear into the fair curves of the hull.

I also seem to have found a connection for buying black locust... a saw mill in Idaho seems to have answered my call. Everyone go to rusticmill.com and buy some wood, Steve may have saved my boat! Not quite, but its a biiiig help.
