As a last resort, you could always check with someone like Redfish Kayaks (http://redfishkayak.com/) and see just how much having the pre cut strips would cost shipped to you.

: After the first SOF build, I can only state; I'm bugged. No regrets
: in this respect , we all need to die somehow :) .

: I would like to try a strip boat, hence the problem:

: Here in the Carpathians we do have spruce (picea abies) and pine
: (pinus silvestris) but clear planks is nowadays really hard to
: find or even impossible for me.
: I've been thinking at making strips from 6 mm(barely under
: 1/4") plywood. The choice would be the 6 mm Okoume
: construction plywood ( no marine plywood here). The strips would
: be cut lengthwise. I might even dare to try bead&cove.
: Any thoughts against this idea?
