The next step was to install the decks of the canoe. Because of the moderate recurve of the canoe which is the area exposed to the wind, the longer decks were not conducive to the the canoe's current shape, so i had to cut down the canoe's recurve to fit the deck. After mixing up some epoxy, I put placed it on the place where the decks were going and tried to screw them in with brass screws. Yet, because of the strength of the white oak, I had to use steel screws. The decks had to be installed first, before the gunwales, which was the next piece to be installed.
