Backdeck Beam







The first picture shows the 4x4 that was cut with big curves on Georges band saw. I dry fit it yesterday evening and today used Jonathan's curved plane to smooth out.

Tomorrow I will probably epoxy it in. I have worried about making this piece and am happy it seems done.

Thanks Jonathan about remembering that I had stored some of your tools including this useful antique.

I trimmed back the sides of the deck today to receive the combings. Shown in the picture with Marjorie is a scrap redwood plank that I temporarily put in to see how the combing angle was working.

I bought some mahogany boards on Monday to use for the combing. The mahogany plank will be wider.
