I decided to construct a laminated upper breasthook. Yes, as a retired old man I do have too much time on my hands, but the upper breasthook is a visually appealing section of the bow so let's make it a beautiful feature.
I used a combination of two contrasting-colored timbers, red hardwood called Blue Gum (Yes, a red colored timber called Blue Gum, go figure!) and a light-colored timber called Queensland Hoop Pine. I am also using the Blue Gum on the rub rails and the Hoop Pine on the spars so the timber types and colors will flow throughout the rest of the build.
