In Response To: Strip: Fiberglass before or after coaming wall *PIC* (mtkayak)

I like to glass the deck before working on the coaming. After building the coaming wall and applying a fillet of thickened epoxy, a bias-cut strip of glass easily conforms to the coaming/deck joint. Are you going to build a wooden or a composite coaming?

I agree with the others; that's some beautiful work! What kinds of wood did you use? Are the lightest colored strips Maple? That's going to look even better when you wet it out. Keep the pictures coming.
