This week we're getting out and installing our Horn Timber, the last piece on ORCA's centerline. We first need to cut the timber down to size with a chainsaw so we can get it up on to our shipsaw. The horn timber will run from the top of the stern post all the way to the transom of the boat. We then need to create another mortise and tenon to connect the two pieces, only this time the tenon in the stern post is going to go all the way through our horn timber. Once we chop that hole with our chainsaw we can connect both pieces and we'll have the entire centerline of ORCA together. The next step is making the transom and then rabbiting the entire keel.
