a word of caution. don't expect the first "stripper" canoe to come out
looking like the beauties on the cover of Ted Moore's "Canoecraft" or on
the websites of srtipper canoe suppliers. Its not easy to get all those little
strips nicely lined up and bent just right, and fibreglass cloth soaked in
expoxy is messy stuff to work with and hard to sand smooth. a neighbour
decided to paint his to hide his mistakes. but the second one usually comes
out much better.
