: My wife made a (rare for her) request for a wood made product. This came at a
: moment when I was looking for a low impact project to try strip building
: before starting my first kayak. Nick, I beg your forgiveness and
: forebearance if you think this ignoble. I will be building a kitchen
: garbage can from the section forward of the cockpit on your beautiful
: Guillemot.

: I'm thinking of finishing out the lip with a coaming and skirt lip. The top
: cover, though, seems to be too stiff to make from strips; its low height
: would limit the amount of curve possible. S&G, though, might work top and
: "hatch".
