Shaving and Grinding inside

Today I turned over the hull to start with the inside. First time I see the shape of the canoe. Wonderful lines. I use a modified triangular scraper to remove glue and edges from the hull.

The scraper have rounded shape and shaves almost like a plane. Whole inside is made in less then 2 hours. After shaveing I make a final touch with the sanding block.

Hull weight is now 7,8 kg (17 lbs) The inside glasfiber layer and epoxy will add about 1,9 kg (4lbs) which is perfectly OK.

Wonderful lines
