Here's the StrongBack again, but with the Cedar and Redwood laid out. The Cedar has all been cut to strips just thicker than 1/4". The Redwood hasn't been cut yet. When I bought the wood, I didn't notice the huge color difference between the dark cedar board and the two lighter ones.

Here's the stem being bent on the form. The inner stems are made from Cedar, the outer stems from Ash.

Here's the inlay that's used on the bow and stern. These are put pointing toward the nearest end of the boat and about 4 feet from the center inlay.
