The next step was to sand down the sheer-line of the canoe. Because of the crude surface where the gunwales and the cedar sides meet, they needed to be plained smooth. First, sanding down the sides with a belt sander, I got a rough smooth sides in which I could then scrap with a cabinet scraper. The flush gunwales's sides could then be sanded down to round them out. Even though this step did not take a very long time it was necessary for the installation of the seats and thwarts.
