: If you're concerned about the color of the boat you'll need
: considerably more strips than you'd need to just build it. WRC
: runs huge variations in color even in the same board from very
: dark red to nearly white. I figure on at least having 50% more
: strips than is actually required to build it so I can sort for
: color.

While perusing the toystore (Menards) I noticed a very thin kerf, 5" blade - thinner than the Freud. Same diameter arbor; I haven't tried it, but.... with a zero clearnace insert, I wonder why that wouldn't be acceptable for cutting WRC strips?

BTW, someone (and I think it was Bill Hamm) mentioned a yard in Wisconsin catering to canoe builders - specifically, first grade WRC. Anyone recall the link? Thanks.
