Bottom panels

Back on track.  I got both bottom panels cut out and one fitted to the bottom.  It is a slow process.  The panel has to fit exactly before it gets glued down.  Hopefully I'll get that done tomorrow. The paper is the template taken from an original Shelley.  I made the cut exactly like the original.  I left both ends fat and  then finessed the bottom to fit.

The cut that makes the flair at the transom.  I cut both bottoms at the same time.
