In Response To: Material: Pine for a strip boat *PIC* (Sean D)
Sean,
A friend of mine built a strip canoe out of pine and it looks great.
I just checked a reference book I have and found the density of white pine to be 24 lb per cubic foot. Western Red cedar is listed at 22 lb per cubic foot. So weight should not be a major issue.
Pine is not as durable when wet, but the strips in a boat are encapusulated in epoxy so that should not matter.
The only issue I can think of is flexability to be bent to contact the forms. And I do not know if that would be a problem or not.
