In today's news: I roughed out the bevels on the stem and slotted in a deadwood, made out of the same pine board I used for gluing up the stem. I carved out the slot with a hand chisel, about 1 cm deep. There will be a few oak treenails going through it. In addition the lower chine logs will flank it, so it should be plenty strong.
Then everything got put together. Some last minute checks and adjustments of the frame alignment and the stringers can be dry-fitted to check how it all looks like. Looks fantastic, all curvatures look great, the stringers touch every frame without play. On the right the last of the chine logs clamped up on the scarf joint:
Next step: affix the longitudinals to the frames. That should go fast(-er) since there seem to be no more devilish details left to do for now.
