New Bow Tip

I finally glued up the new tip of the bow. This replace the ends of the inner gunwales and the tip of the deck.  The deck tip is cut thicker than the original with a bit extending aft underneath.  This was the first time I used the West system epoxy.  It is a much slower cure than the typical 5 minute epoxy I've used before.  I opted for the slow cure hardener, which is usable down to about 60F. 

Here it is all cured up.  The seams will be covered with the thin cap strips along the edges of the deck. 

Here's what the old pieces look like.  It looks like someone stored the canoe with the tips resting on the ground and the bugs burrowed into it.
