Glueing bottom panels, chinelog wood choice...

Slow work continues with my dad.  Glued together bottom panels.  Also marked out and cut bulkhead #1 and bulkhead #4 (not pictured).  Also discussed with my dad the use of on-hand Redwood for the chines since it will be glued on two faces (side panel and bottom) and it is correct dimension 19x45mm, instead of the ripped and scarfed WRC which came out to 17x43mm.  Seems the consensus is second-growth Redwood is a better choice than old-growth and it is not a complete no-go for boatbuilding.

 
Good squeeze-out.
