laid out by the intersection of the water lines and buttocks (i.e. the
angle described gets more acute the closer to the bow at the sheer but
will be flatter on the same frame close to the keel. This can be done on
a sawn frame by changing the angle of the bandsaw table as you cut the
frame). Thanks for any help, Frank

you get two burly boatbuilders with a big wooden mallet and bend the
frame in the hull.

note that in bend frames the grain runs along the frame, end grain exposed
only at top and bottom ends. in sawn frames end grain is exposed the
length of the frame. be sure to seal end grain well.

Thanks William
