Measuring and marking the centre line on the in-stems is not always as easy as it looks!

It is important to continuously check the landing to determine how much or how little remains to be spoke shaved.

Each cedar strip is attached using carpenter's glue and staples. Here, Lindsays is gluing before adding her next strip. It's a sticky job but somebody's gotta do it!

Lindsay's mom, Ilse, came along on the 2nd and 3rd days to help with some of the trickier strips. There's nothing like a little mother-daughter bonding...

Lindsay and Ilse are working together to set the strips in place. Having two sets of hands for this part of the process was invaluable
