Cordovan mahogany dye looks pretty good..up close it's a little translucent and you can see the strips....he used a razor to expose pinstrips...i am considering going same but i can't get a handle on getting the boat 100% sanded..then dye it and then never ever sand through the dye anywhere if you made a mistake...i think the repair dye would make a nasty dark blotch.

: I got the forms and the first strips set up onto the kayak today. This is the
: Boat the 1959 Ken Taylor Kayak - the Igdlorssuit. I'm building in all
: cedar except for one pine strip at the sheer. I'm stealing the coloring,
: dye, and one pin stripe from Nick's Petrel.

: Anyway, a picture of me and the forms.

: I'm still debating how detailed I want to be in the builder's log. My
: Siskiwit Bay log was very detailed.
