Tom Strong's Haven 12 1/2
Building the spars June, 2006


Rounding the boom

This is the "7-10-7" spar rounding gauge tool for marking the mast and boom for rounding as described by Greg Rossel in 
"Building Small Boats."  It works like a charm.

I was able to find 2"x7" Sitka Spruce in 20' length.  One long rip and some planing and its ready for glueing up, shaping and rounding.
