finishing the rails part 1

i flipped her over and shaped up the underside of the rails today after work

first, i used my jig to round off the ends

they arent perfect but they're close. 

then i flipped her and planed the outer rail flush on the taper

you can see the taper, fully planed, on the left and the non-tapered rail on the right. 

after some sanding and shaping, she looks great!

you can really appreciate the taper here, moving left to right. 

tomorrow, ill rout the top of the rail and try to atart epoxy'ing the rails and breasthooks
