Outwales bent...FINALLY!

Third time is a charm!   My first couple of tries did not work well.  Here is two outwales bent on the form.  I will take them off on Tuesday.

African mahogany does not bend very well.  South American mahogany does.   The procedure is to clamp one end to the end of the mold. Next pour two gallons of scalding hot water on the strips.  Now, bend onto the mold within one minute.

Tuesday I will bend the other end, let it dry for two days then clamp onto the boat. Horray!
