For ppl who want a wood boat but cannot give up synthetic resins.
Make a hull from "oriented wood strands" held together with polyester

Naaa! Properly done cold molded boats are the lightest and strongest in

This was true in 1970, but not now.



And cold molding is so far away from rocket science that
anyone with even moderate intelligence could do it right accidently.

Strands of wood fiber in polyester?

(I first raced as crew on a boat as you describe. Was a rocket.)
