John,
Nice looking build. Where abouts are you? I am in southern NH.

I recently got a Redfish Spring Run kit for my first build. I've only got the stations/forms all set up, no strips started yet.
I was hoping to get moving on it but, we've had some water problems in the basement and we need to install French drains in the basement, and do a bunch of yard and house work. Of course the basement is where I have set up to work on the kayak. Work crews for the basement drainage project will be coming in next month and I fear that I will have to move my whole strongback so that it doesn't get trashed. So, no real progress for awhile I'm afraid.

BTW, where did you get the B&C strips? Did You make them yourself?
The main reason I went with a kit was that I don't have a table saw and that cutting all the strips would be a major chore.

: I have been working on this stripper for a few months now. It is a
: Greenland style, Guillemot L.

: It is western red cedar, with tiger maple accents on the deck
: centerline and the near the sheerline. I'm using B&C with
: staples in stripping the hull, so far the deck is going nicely
: without staples. I plan to use it on the small lakes and ponds
: of New England and New York's Adirondacks for camping.

: Thank you for watching.
