I was wondering on how to repair the keel on my bluenose. I've cracked it three times, and considering putting a thin layer of walnut on each side to hide the blemishes of wood glue and cover the keel that way. any Ideas?? Thanks in advance

At this point I think you should cover and blend it in to the hull planking. The saddle is a good idea. I take a section of a pool noodle cut in half. Use duct tape to hold the edge together so the flat cut area is on the table with the humps facing up. Set the keel in the crease of the humps. You could glue the pool noodle to a board the keep them from moving and you can reuse the boat rest.
Good way to improvise. The noodle won't scratch anything.
