: Stupid question (the closest I've gotten to a strip built kayak is
: sitting on this side of the computer screen), but what if he
: used two different types of wood? One with a dark grain, the
: other with a light grain. Join the two (scarf? I don't think a
: butt joint would be strong enough without reinforcing it with an
: overlapping strip inside).

: Joining all those strips would be a bit of extra work, but it looks
: good. If you don't have access to clear wood that's long enough,
: and have to join strips anyway... may as well make it look good.

Butt joints work fine for stripping. The wood is a core for the fiberglass, it's not used alone.
