In Response To: Strip: 1.5" Strips on a Siskiwit Bay *Pic* (Bryan Hansel)

: A builder in TX is using 1.5" strips cut from a 2x to build a Siskiwit
: Bay. It looks pretty nice and has the appearance of a smoother hull to me.
: I might try this on my next kayak.

I've had success using 1.5" wide strips on parts of canoes. They generally work in areas with little compound curvature. They work well on hard chine designs as well. Stripping goes real quick with those puppies...
