Every gunnel I've ever seen was a laminate of 2 to 3 layers, kind of like what Johnny showed, but all fastened in place with copper rivets. They are 1 of only 2 traditional wooden specialists left in operation that is making the hardware for tall ships, schooners and the like; all of the 'running' gear needed at above the sailing deck - belaying pins, mast hoops, parrel beads, blocks, cleats, bullseyes, etc. ...
