Hi,
I am building a canoe in the building style of a Kudzu craft with frames made of plywood to get the hull shape and stringers. I have cut small notches in the ply for the stringers to fit in like the Kudzu craft and was going to use glue and ring nails to fix the stringers to the frame. However I see you don't use this method but prefer to tie the stringers to frame with sinew. I am now wondering if there is a structural reason you don't use glue/ nails so would like to ask if glue/nails is the wrong way to build the boat before I start.
thanks
Nik
