The new year means not just stripping, but a restock of our materials. Rollin went up north to visit a couple of sawmills last week. He came back with over 600 board feet of cedar. Time to make ribs!
Over the past three days, Stephen and I have cut the cedar to width and sanded the ribs to thickness. Our progress covered the shop with dust but we ended up with a beautiful, clean and tidy stack of ribs, ready for your canoe!
Watch the dust billow in the shop
and see the piles go up and down: progress!

| Suited up and already dusty! |

| The piles form! These pieces have already been cut once and are ready for slicing. |

| In and out of the thickness sander |
Ribs? Check.

Hey Elisa,
Nice work on the blog! It was about a year ago I was milling ribs for my Cheemaun build. I do wish I was headed north again this year. Say hi to everyone,
Jeff
