: It looks beautiful and very well executed, but I have one question:
: What happens when you have to replace the skin?

That's a good question! I suspect the glue doesn't have to adhere to the gunnel provided the two sets of splines are stuck together to form a "hook". Skin replacement should be easy if the rabbet is waxed first, although that might make the skin liable to slip out during installation. Just a thought . . .
