In Response To: Strip: stem (john sullivan)

I used Jarrah for one of mine.

I worked on the principle that the glass would survive minor bumps better if the timber behind it was very dense. Because it is such a small part of the kayak, the weight is not really an issue.

I haven't really tested it out because I try to avoid bumping into things, :-)
