Making new oak cratch boards

Our cratch boards are rotten (surprise, surprise!) making new oak ones is proving a challenge. Here I'm giving myself a headache trying to work out all the conflicting angles and keep the dimensions

The top section has to be central and the same width as the top plank

A mixture of modern and traditional tools were used

After routering an architrave edge, and a rebate to take the oak planks in the centre of the cratches, then I'll need to champfer the rear bottom edge to allow it to clear the lip on the forepeak cabin when the cratchboard is folded forward
