Cedar Strip Canoe Build # 45 Poly Yoke, Paddles, Weave Seat

Today I put poly on the yoke and paddles. Also started weaving the seat. I need to poly the thwarts and yoke and find a place for them to dry. I chose to hang them. Cup hooks work well.

To get the paddles ready I need to sand them too.

With those hung I start with the poly. I did the small pieces first.

Next is the yoke. The wood for this is Yellow Birch and the poly really brings out the grain.

I gave everything a second coat of poly before I went in, this was Saturday. This morning I went out and started in with the weaving. I got this far by lunch time.

Alright, Jeff. Loving the progress, as usual, but what the heck is the bit in your drill for in the first pic? I just ran across that bit in a set at work and have NO idea what it's for. Please enlighten me.

Hi Farmerdude. been watching your blog with great interest. the tool in the chuck of the drill in your first picture of this entry is that for screwing in the cup hooks. if it is for that is it a off the shelf bought tool as over here in New Zealand I have not seen such a tool?

CaptainSkully,
and
kiwib0y,

The bit is for screwing in or out, cuphooks or eyescrews. It works great. I've had this one for 8 or 10 years. It came in a set of assorted hardware. I saw one a short time ago at Harbor Freight, also in a set of assorted hardware. I've never seen them sold separately.

English, I'm getting closer for sure. I won't be giving her the virgin run. I don't want to be the first one to scratch it. Besides that, it's warming up, but there is still a lot of frozen water around.
