: Just finished the last coat of varathane on my Endevour!!Now I need a
: seat.I'd like to build one from cedar.Any ideas or pix.Thanks

The first seat I made for one of my kayaks was from cedar strip.

It looked great! It felt awful!

So if you beleive in Fernando's credo "It's better to look good, than to feel good"
do the cedar seat.

If not, try making one out of closed cell foam.

All the best,
