In this episode I explain and shows how to glue laminate the wooden keel for the Haven. The white oak keel must bent over the floor timbers. Typically the keel would be one piece of lumber. However, sourcing a white oak board that is over 1 1/2" and 17' long was a issue. Also a broad the size would have been needed to be steam bent to fit on the boat. I therefore decided to glue laminated 4 boards to get the desired curve. In doing so I show how I resawed the oak timbers and used a flexible epoxy to glue them up directly on the boat. I then show how I used bronze bolts to bolt the keel to the floor timbers. I hope you enjoy the building and installing the wooden keel.
