In Response To: Re: Material: Hardwood kayak? (Paul Lueders)

:Thanks again everybody!
Sam's idea of using samples of wood to determine workability is great.
Paul's jig for planing rolling bevels takes all the problems out of doing that!
Ted said use mahogany and Peruvian walnut, why reinvent the wheel, go with proven materials. Good idea.
Floyd brings up a great point about deck/hull being fragile before joining the two. All you guys just gave me a lot of solutions and really boosted my confidence level.
thanks again!
