: Thanks a lot gentlemen.

: I think this case is solved; No plywood strips, too many arguments
: against it.

: Won't build for the moment but, was researching throughout the
: warehouses for suitable planks and was really horrified from the
: many knots. Construction wood is not graded here, so they ca
: throw out at you what ever they want .

: Sincerelly I would try to avoid scarfing the strips more than once
: on the full length of the kayak. I'm in this respect rater lazy
: :)

: Well, thanks again, I'll search harder.

And I did. I was to visit my cottage at the border with Ucraine, on Easter Holidays, lots of woods around. I was able to find a mill that delivered me the necessary strips made from fresh cut spruce planks. I left the strips laying in a shady place,, with strips for ventilation in between, for drying . I think it was 5 weeks ago. How long should I live the strips drying.
