Today I ripped and glued up the laminated front curved deck beams, and cut the rear deck beams to size. I did the front deck beams in 3 1/4 inch pieces, and bent them over a 3 inch block to center the bend, but still give myself some room to account for spring back. The cedar was just at about its limit for bending without steam/heat, would have been easier with 4 layers but I didn't want to have to rip that many pieces. I have one more 1/4 inch strip that I will use to laminate onto the beams if they do not intersect with the bow deck ridge correctly. Will leave the clamps on for 24 hrs and see what they look like tomorrow evening. I also started drawing up the coaming outline and will focus on building it next.
