: Did you fair the first layer before you laid the second layer?

Yes, I faired the first layer and appled a sealer coat of epoxy. Then I laminated layers 1 and 2 with epoxy mixed with a bit
of West Systems 406 filler to accommodate any gaps.

The first layer was stapled to the cross sections during construction. Layer 2 was stapled randomly due to the solid wood available from layer one.
The outer layer was faired and coated with 2 layers of epoxy, Next will come 3 - 4 coats of varnish unless I get bored and settle on 2 coats :)

:Have you thought of cold molding veneer over the first layer?

Yes, that is exactly what I plan to do on my next boat. Unlike standard cold molding technique that uses a temporary SOF-like plug with
closely spaced stringers for attaching the veneers , mine will have a 3/16" strip first layer that will be part of the boat and serve as a
solid glue base for the 2 or 3 layers of 1/16" thick mahogeny veneers. The double strip Sea Bee was actually an idea that came out of thinking about
cold moulding, but seemed a bit easier and cheaper to do.

Speaking of veneers, I covered the stems with some thin mahogany veneers just for fun.(see pic)

Here's a link / pic of the redwood I used for stripping the hull. I ripped the wood on my son's Festool plunge saw and guides.
I've even been practicing ripping 1/16" veneers on this setup. Very slick tool ! (Link)
