Nick,
Damn that makes it simple. Now I won't get to calculate how many strips it will take to go around the girth of the kayak and how many strips I can cut out of each board and what my kerf thickness is. I'd always estimated that 40bf was enough wood for any kayak, but I'd never though to express the estimate in bf per foot of boat length!
