Gunwales milled

I've milled 4 gunwales for the canoe out of the log out back. I only need 2, but forming them to the canoe may be tricky, so some spares may come in handy. 

I took a piece of scrap from the gunwale stock and fit it up to the canoe to see how hard it will be to form the gunwales. The scrap is 3/8" square and the gunwales are a 3/4" half round with a lip attached. So the scrap is more flexible.

 I plan on firing up the steamer to get the gunwales formed without breaking. The steam box is 6 1/2 feet long and the gunwales are 15 1/2 feet, so the middle will have to bend on its own. I'll have to bend an end, clamp it up and let it set up, then do the other end.
