: I have a question as to the what material to use for a strip build kayak. I
: have access to a lot of white spruce (latin name Picea glauca) in fairly
: long clear lenghts. Is this wood approprate for use in a strip built
: kayak?

: White spruce is a very light colored wood and I think it would look very good
: with cedar feature strips. Plus, it is very cheap and it is hard to me to
: use a more expensive wood if it will suffice.
