: Hi Bill

: Why not get a brand new one? Besides, a "real" Struer isn't
: stripbuilt but made with very thin and delicate veneer, lightweight and
: beautiful.
: while im no expert on stripbuilding, or anything else for that matter,and
: have seen your high level of craftmanship i still doubt you could build it
: as light as the original and weight is a crusial part of the performance.
: By the way, im in no way related to the company.

The Struer it very pretty, but not exactly cheap. We've got a guy just north of here building his own version of a K1. Has it in a friends shop. Hopefully going up there tomorrow to paddle it. Lots less bucks.
