What book and/or plans do you folks recommend for building a strip sea kayak and a strip canoe. My wife and I have a fairly complete shop, including cabinet saw, jointer, planer, tig welder, plasma torch and much more. We have been building things for several years and are interested in trying our skills with a sea kayak or a canoe. We live in the Philadelphia area so have plenty of water to choose from. We both love the look of strip boats, canoes and kayaks. What books do you recommend for a canoe and what book do you recommend for a kayak. There are so many books out there its hard to make a decision. Also where is the best source for wood strips. We can rip them ourselves but this may be a false economy. We appreciate your recommendations.
