Cut out and fitted the stern bulkhead top panel - exact same operation as previously described.
Started thinking about mounting the seats. I drilled a hole through a test piece of inwale using my bench drill at an angle of 5 degrees then counterbored it to sink the bolt head down sub flush of the surface. This seemed to work o.k. but I wonder about getting 4 holes in the right place without messing up either the inwales or the seats. The other thing is drilling a hole straight down the centre of the spacing dowel is difficult without using a lathe as I discovered.
On top of this there was a post on SoTP saying that the seats should be attached to the sidewalls of the canoe as they add to the strength.
Off to buy some wood for the bilge runners.
