P2013484.jpg (111750 bytes) The original transom was constructed of 3 pieces of red cedar joined with shiplaps and nails. A stout sternpost helped to keep it all together.
P2013483.jpg (102349 bytes) Bevels were copied from the original to the new transom. A bevel gauge captured the existing bevel at a given point on the old transom. 

 

 

P2083652.jpg (90761 bytes) The bevel gauge is placed against the corresponding point on the new transom. The height of the gap at the leftmost edge determines how far down the right edge must go.
