Shaping the square mast:

The mast is laminated from 3 lengths of Oregon glued up.

It is first sawn and planed to size.  I marked the middle line first on 2 adjacent sides and from there marked the different widths along the length. This gave me a square ‘mast’ with a width of 87mm tapering from the middle  to 65mm at the end.  The next steps involve making the mast round.
