Well with a density of 0.37 for the Red Cedar and 0.45 for the pine, I guess the weight difference is not that important (less than 4kg for 18' kayak). It surely have other consequences, which I ignore for now.
a bit time consuming, no? If you have to bevel every strip...
By the way, I already have like 200m of pine strips waiting to be bead&coved so it is a bit too late ;)

Not too late.just in time I'd say.Fit the shear strip very carefully.The edge on top of this strip will be square.The next strip's bottom edge can then be "fitted" to the top edge of the first strip AND then the fit can be improved with planning a slight bevel on this new strip's lower edge.It becomes a very quick and satisfying process.

4kg on a kayak that need only weigh 15kg...

If it turns to be a mistake, at least it won't have cost too much :)
You will have learnt in my usual way.
All the best though.
