Adventurous and beautiful!

What woods are you using for strips? It seems as if most Scandinavian boatbuilders use some pretty light-colored species.

Most everything you see on this side of the pond is predominately Western Red Cedar...seeing light colors is conspicuously beautiful!

: As this winter´s project I´m running a study circle in kayakbuilding. There
: are 7 strippers and 1 SnG. Two Najad (Björn Thomasson), one Panache (Rob
: Macks) and four Ylva (Hans Friedel). The SnG is also by Hans Friedel.
: In april there will be a masslaunching. The project started in november, the
: first strips was laid some days before christmas. The builders are all
: firsttimebuilders and they learn fast and are very happy.

: I´ll try to post some pictures from the workshop.
