Coverboards




I used quarter sawn sapele 15mm thick for the coverboards,they were epoxy glued, screwed with 1 1/2" x 8 silicon bronze screws and then plugged with sapele plugs. Towards the Bow the coverboards had to be dampened down in order to get the wood to bend . Amazingly enough the wood set in the desired shape after a few hours in the heat of the sun , then it was just a matter of screwing down and plugging.
