Time to make some new rib stock for the repairs of the ends of the ribs.

Then they are cut to approximate size and one end is cut to a taper using a jig sled for the bandsaw. This ensures that every taper is the same.

Next, the rotten rib ends are cut off. This canoe has about 25 that needed attention.

Then the ribs are marked and the same taper is applied to the cut end.

Epoxy is used to glue on the new rib ends. And clamps, lots and lots of clamps.
