Gluing spars
I decided to make both spars in solid wood.
Yard has so small diameter that making it hollow has no sense. Making the mast as birdsmouth construction is a sensible option but I managed to find long enough and knot-free (almost) planed pine wood.
It is much less work (and much less epoxy) to just glue two 45mm thick slabs together and shape the mast traditionally.
With fair weather I could set up my very professional sawing environment.
The mast will be glued from two 45mm thick continuous pieces of northern pine. Almost knot-free. The yard will be laminated from three layers of knot-free pine which I hoarded the other day.
Even though there became not many gluing surfaces the amount of epoxy needed to make these joints was substantial. Messy as always but all went without problems. A bit colder evening gave me longer pot-life so no hurry.
While these are curing I will make spar gauges for marking both spars.
