In Response To: Strip: 1.5" Strips on a Siskiwit Bay *Pic* (Bryan Hansel)

: A builder in TX is using 1.5" strips cut from a 2x to build a Siskiwit
: Bay. It looks pretty nice and has the appearance of a smoother hull to me.
: I might try this on my next kayak.

: Picture below. (Note the new deck design.)

In the flatter portion of the hull that should work fine, at the turn of the bilge I suspect that when fairing it the strips will get pretty thin.

No one ever said though that all the strips have to be the same width.
