: I'm trying to plan for the cost of a kayak, something like the Georgian Bay
: or ?

: I am lucky(?) enough to have a place locally that sells only w. red cedar and
: redwood. They have the clear, top grade w.red cedar priced 1 x 6 @ $1.90 a
: linear ft. or 1 x 8 @ 2.56 L.ft. Does that sound competive or steep or?

: I thought I read that the average kayaks took about 50 brd ft.? How does that
: translate to linear ft. (I'm not sure how many strips can be gotten from a
: 1x6 or 1x8? I suppose it all depends on the kerf of the blade?)

: Any ballpark estimates on how many linear feet it might take?

1100-1200 linear ft very roughly, depending obviously what boat but also whether you use flat edged strips or cove and bead and how much waste. Never bought any but I think c/b strip in neighborhood of 35/40 cts linear ft, straight edge ard 18/20 cts.

: Similarly, what would the cost be(roughly) to order the strips already cut
: and routed?

: Thanks.
