Here is a 90 second clip showing Colton and Nick bending a rib into Nick's Arrow 14 hull.
The rib is 1/4x1/2 quarter sawn oak set into a hull formed from 3/8x3/4 Douglas fir stringers. They are using a 1/8x5/4 piece of Douglas fir as a backing strap to keep the outer edge of the oak rib from fraying as the wood fibers gets stretched on the outer side of the curve. They have roughly one minute before the oak cools to bend it into place.
