Nice picture Shawn... I gotta make one of those. Maybe this Fall.

I always think the gunwales look too large when I see a shot like this. I know they are that way because almost every other stick of wood connects to them and they are the main structural element of the boat. Traditional considerations aside, would it work to use smaller hardwood sticks for gunwales. What about adding composites to making them smaller/lighter?

Looks great!
