Lilian. Transom and Fashion pieces.

Lilian’s new transom was a project that was begun by another student, he had made up and cut the blank from oak. It became my task to figure out and cut the bevels, and to make fashion pieces from grown oak to fit. The original stern knee was tremendously warped but somehow I managed to take a bit off here and there to make it acceptable again. Bolting the assembly into position was undertaken by my colleague Andy. Incidentally, in the photograph of the transom temporarily up on it’s A frame, you can see the starboard rubbing strake in the plastic bag about to be steamed to fit.
