Transom Redo, Part I

In my last post on the transom, I detailed the issues I&rsquo;d had with the first attempt a gluing up a &ldquo;blank&rdquo; to cut the transom from. I basically made three mistakes in the process: I started with 4/4 lumber, which ended up a bit too thin once I&rsquo;d milled up the stock. I used a really wide board, which ended up cupping a bit, even after I&rsquo;d milled it flat.
