In Response To: Pine vs. redwood (Richard Johnson)

I have one kayak with a pine deck. I don't find weight a problem. What I did notice is that light wood throughout really maks staple holes show up because of the contrast. It's also less forgiving. Cracks show up dark, so a dark wood hides all of this much easier.

As far as workability. It's excellent.
