nub Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 My frame is Baltic birch and western red cedar, treated with tung oil. The masik is laminated white oak. My bow and stern frames have been shortened to bring the overall length to 14'7". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abyssdncr Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Looks good, Nub! What was the motive in shortening? Can you add a couple pics of your oak lamination? Thinking of trying that on my next build... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nub Posted April 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Abyssdncr, hope this helps: The shorter length is easier for me to transport and store. I prefer kayaks about 14'. This is the third of Jeff's boats I've built, and I am very pleased with his boats. The masik is 5 strips of quarter sawn white oak, laminated with Titebond III glue, 1/2"x1/2" formed with the curve you see. The higher arch gives me a little roomier entry and exit at age 72. Will post photos on a new post, as I couldn't find a way to attach on a reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
