Those Troublesome Skegs Finishing Touches

15.16 in Boat Plans, finishing, joints, scarf, skegs, those, touches, troublesome

So the skegs are mounted, but the carriage bolt countersinks are still there.  Lets fix that.

I bought a hardwood dowel of the same diameter as my countersink holes.  Happily, the grain ran crossways the length of the dowel, making sweet little plugs when I cut little coins off the end.

A story in pictures.

So glad to be done with the skegs. Heres how the process left me feeling...
