: Your King looks great Steve! Great looking inserts.

: I have been lurking on this site for far longer than you have taken to
: build....and will only be starting my first stripper (also a King) in a
: few months. You know....slowly....slowly...but surely.

: I am curious. What wood did you use? Did you use b & c as suggested by
: Joe Greenley? I think I am going to use the bevelled approach so well
: described by Jay Babina and others. Are you planning to use Joe's plan for
: a coaming? I am thinking about using Vaclav's carbon coaming like I
: believe Reg Lake did. I am also toying with the idea of using Kayaksport
: hatches similar to Jay's Outer Island and Bobby Curtis's Sea Spirit. So
: much to think about...better be careful or I'll never get the boat built
: yet into the water!

: Look forward to seeing more pics!

Thanks Bob!

The deck is WRC with the maple and walnut details. The hull is WRC and basswood with a walnut stripe pattern. I posted a pic of that late spring/early summer.

I have been using the rolling bevel technique and have been pleased with the results so far.

I am planning on building the coaming as Joe describes. I have thought about the carbon coaming, but I have enough new things to try and I think a walnut coaming will be the look I want.

Good luck on your project!

Steve
