Again, totally theoretical question. The stripper could be done traditionally on plywood forms as long as the shape is close.

The question is purely about the core material, assuming all else equal.

Which would create a stiffer kayak: cedar, okoume plywood? Heck, in the interest of science, we could also add end-grain balsa, structural foam and Nomex honeycomb or other cores to the mix...
