Interior Roof Panels

In the past few days, we have been contouring the birch plywood to fit the shape of the trailer.















The plywood was sprayed with hot water and tensioned with ratchet straps. We also boiled water and layed wet towels on the surface over night.














The ceiling was shaped by forming the birch around the outside, and being adjusted as needed during installation.
