Hey Alan

The heat won't bother anything unless you pick some really wet wood. It may warp a bit as it dries out. But then, if it's that hot, I doubt you'll find any really wet wood. A little bit of bend won't hurt anything as You will be bending some of that wood around anyway. Just find yourself a 16" fan or two and you'll be fine. Be sure to use the offsets that Paul Jacobson printed out and not the ones in the book. You'll save a bundle on plywood. Or use it on the workbench or something. ( another set of forms.... for the next boat )

Have fun and keep us posted on your progress. There are several of us who are either building or have built the Walrus and lots of info on this side of the screen.
