Gunwales all sanded down

A bit bright in the photo but they are all sanded down nicely.
After I attached the outwale I filled between them with epoxy. This meant that there was quite alot of sanding to do to get them flush. Quick trip to B&Q for some new sanding belts (40s!!) and the trust belt sander just ripped through. Took about an hour to get it all done.

Shaped the ends to curves (Again with the belt sander) back past where the screw had been in at the ends.

Ended up buying a sanding 'flapper' attachment for my drill. So glad I did, not cheap at £9.99 but probably one of the most useful things I have bought during this project

Finished off all round with hand sanding with sheets of 80

I will do a final sand of 120 sheets before epoxy/varnish finishing.
