I'll be making gunwales and inwales for a16' fibreglass canoe this summer. I'm thinkiinng that if I make the gunwales ½" thick, I should be able to bend them around the curve of a canoe this size without going to the trouble of steaming them. Eh? I plan to secure them with screws through the inwales and hull, into the gunwales. This is the only beniding that I will have to do. I'm thinking that having looked at some bow bending sites and finding that bowyers don't steam their staves unless they are making recurve bows, I should b e OK without the extra step of steaming.
Does this work for you?
