bead and cove joints
I use bead and cove for canoe and kayak building - it will work for
masts as well, but you are limited in your diameter by the wood thickness and diameter of the cove. Take a few short strips and mock it up, you will see what I mean. The angle between the two touching strips is limited by the cove side of the strip. One the fine edge touches the next strip, you can't make the angle any less. The birds mouth method is better and you can use any number of strips, just do the math as explained above or in the Wooden Boat article. Stephan www.bradleyboatworks.com |
