Oh man, these two pieces caused me the biggest headache of all... Every step seemed far more difficult than it had right to be but I'm very happy with the result.

 

I really wanted to use juniper but tracking down a quality piece that was large enough was a huge challenge. Milling it was also difficult as I barely had enough material and it required some saw gymnastics to get the angles cut that I needed. On top of that, the fiberglass made the bow and stern posts uneven so I had to carefully plane the caps to match the uneven surface to get a nice, tight fit.
