Chip,
I am at the glass stage on a G.A., my first boat. I picked simple lines for the first boat. I used Northern White cedar, and no fancy designs, since this is just building survival on the first boat. I also like the plain wood (My favorite color is gray). I've been paddling on lake superior and fishing out of a kayak in the gulf...great fun! I now paddle a 14 ft. 9" "river touring" boat called an Isere, by Pheonix. I wanted something more suited to the big water. I also do flat water river paddling here in Wisconsin, camping along the way. I figure this boat might work for this at times. I do mostly hand woodwork, but used a bandsaw for the strips planing one side of each strip and putting them on the inside of the boat. Ah, but enough about me. - Scott E.
