Day 10?

So Day 10 did in fact happen. It happened a while ago. I remember I was quite happy that day, I just don't remember much about that day because it was so long ago. I did finish the rib lashing, screwed the ribs to the gunwales, cut off the excess ribs above the gunwales and took out the forms. My greatest fear in taking out the forms was that the gunwales would somehow squish back together in a horrific rib cracking, boat twisting event and suddenly all my work would be a long, skinny pile of lumber. Fortunately that did not happen and the canoe stayed the exact shape it was while the forms where in. It officially looks like a canoe.
And a few photo's including one that proves the ribs hold their shape after bending...
