: 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.

I like the idea of this idea. If the first build turns out to be a good experience and a guy could actually stomach the thought of another then there would be a reason already cut sitting on the shelf to just go ahead and start another. Good idea especially living in BC since WRC is available to pick and choose from... and cheap. I always feel bad reading posts from others trying to find cedar... there is actually a small mill 200 yards from my work that I look at every day and a wholesale outlet 25 km away that has an amazing stock of seems like anything.
