Spiling is like scribing, huh? I did this for the other rail sections
with decent results. The hardest part doing these sections are making
the bevel so to keep the top of the rail in plane with the deck beams
and what not. I'm kind of assuming most boats are like this, but maybe
not. The deck ply is mounted on top of the rail. More fun is the
parts I'll be working on have a changing bevel from fore (down) to aft
(up). I'll admit I originally thought when I bought the boat, I'd just
have to run 1" stock through the table saw for a bevel, caulk, and
stick some screws in it. I have newfound respect for boatwrights.

However, lots of clamps I have! Most guys around here have advised to
laminate, but I'm going for original construction. I tried clamping
air dried stock top it once but wimped out from being aggressive with
the clamping force. Maybe every 6" will work.

Thanks for all the help thus far!
