: Can you use clear pine for strips? How about shorter pieces which are edge
: glued either with or without finger joints. It will most likely only be
: for a small canoe, so I don't think it gets twited very much, but has
: anyone made a kayak from pine strips? Is it as flexible as the red cedar?

Pine works almost as good as red cedar. The first strip you put on your boat should be full length. Scarfed together shorter pieces if you don't have a full lenth one. Then you can butt glue your shorter pieces against your full length one using it to clamp against.
