Craig--

There was a recent discussion here about someone who has beautiful long wide mahogany (I think) that he wanted to build a kayak from. The consensus here was to use the wood for accent and pattern strips, thereby limiting the weight penalty and to save most of the wood for another project that wouldn't reduce so much fine timber to sawdust.
