Pretty Prepping

We sanded and cleaned the thwarts before applying a coat of sealer.  The sealer soaks into the grain of the wood and protects it.  We decided to finish the thwarts "bright" meaning they'll be a natural wood color when we're finished.

Notice the chamfer on the bottom of the seats, we removed some of the wood from the bottom of the seats to make them appear thinner.

Applying the sealer to the seats and seat supports.

This is our breasthook at the bow after we sealed it with the sealer.

We started cutting out kabes with the band saw.

We were sanding the boat, prepping for primer.
