I trimmed off
the strips at the surface of the inner stem and planed the surface perpendicular to the
centerline. In hindsight, I should have made the inner stem much deeper so the bevel
would have brought it to a sharper point. This would have made the surface for the
outer stem narrower. As it was, the outer stem had to be fairly wide, which looks a
little overpowering on this relatively small boat. It doesn't look bad, but a
smaller outer stem would have been better.
