Floors

Will probably replace the outboard sole plank here by
a slightly longer one, scribed to the fine angle above.
These are just dry-fitted to see what they look like...

...  and they don't look too bad.  We need to take them off
and trim to final shape at the aft end.  Other than that, they
fit pretty well, given our very basic scribing skills.....
These are made from Douglas fir, 4" x 3/4" wide, ripped to 2" on the table saw.  I tried them at 4" but they looked a bit industrial.  These ones look pretty good, and smell nice, just after they've been cut.  The scent of new-cut wood....
They need to be removed and trimmed, with the scribed parts at the top of this picture evened out to a consistent even curve and the edges of all planks sanded down to round them off.
