Strip: Cape Ann Storm - 1st strips cut *Pic*

I've been ripping strips on and off since yesterday and hope to finish tomorrow. I got 30 strips out of 2 pieces of Western Yellow Cedar from the Queen Charlotte Islands yesterday and another 45 strips of Western Red Cedar out of 2 pieces today. I think I have enough wood to get another 120 strips or so and should have enough wood left over for a 2nd boat

I have written more on my blog http://denmankayaks.wordpress.com/ with more pictures, but here is one to tide you over. These strips will be going on a Cape Ann Storm designed by One Ocean Kayaks.

I'll be adding more here and on my blog as the build progresses

The strips bundled and on the 'runway'

Thanks for looking
John
