I bought a good 3.5" power planer and cut it down in 30 minutes. I used a
belt sander to smooth the lines out, and a router table to radius the front and back. Tomorrow I will see if it fits. (the boat is 30 miles away, with no electricity) Since oak is 40% heavier than mahogany and the finished oak board is only 20% heavier than the mahogany board, I must have made it thinner than I intended; but since oak is also 50% stronger than mahogany, that shouldn't matter. It may not be a perfect mathematical airfoil, but it is pretty close to the (unpracticed) eye. |
