A few details

I've made some good recent progress and gotten the main bunk in which is nice. I was then able to FINALLY finish the beam work. Here are a few pics of finishing off the last beam end and is typical of how they were all done.

It is necessary to splice up a ton of ply to make these beams and stager the joints around. On each beam, I left one side with the ends unfinished by splicing an 8' piece right in the centerline. This allowed me to use an "L" shaped piece on each end. Also to put an additional fillet and glass joint on the center ply piece prior to closing it off. I then fitted the large 3/4" knee over the "L" shaped piece and glassed it all down front and back.
