"Blocking" is the term to describe the little pieces of wood that you add, here and there, to support or reinforce "other stuff," such as:
- seats,
- deck framing,
- and in the case of this post... the quarter knees.
The blocking for the quarter knees, like the quarter knees themselves, are cut from 3/4" mahogany. This blocking will also provide support for the transom handles I'm planning to add later.
To attach the blocking, I simply used epoxy thickened with #2 silica.

Small gaps filled in around the top of the transom knees. |
