: I'm making a Macks-type baidarka and wondered what sort of glue you
: guys use to laminate the lower bow?

And from a strength perspective, unless you're using a tropical hardwood like cocobolo, the shear strength of any of the PVA glues (Titebond original, II, or III, or any yellow carpenter's glue) exceeds the sheer strength of any wood you could use, so the wood will break before the glue joint.
