In Response To: Material: Wood species? (Chris)

I am building a kayak for my wife with a similar color pattern and I went with Aspen for most of the deck and some dark WRC for the rest. The Aspen is just a little heaver than the WRC and now that I have glassed it, it has taken on a slight yellow tint but a lot lighter in color than Basswood.
