You're making good points and the one I definately 2nd is that recessed coamings are a lot easier to make with glass than wood. With glass you can recess the coaming like a production kayak whereas most people do that cut into the deck and loweing the enrire base structure.

One year at the Newfound gathereing a person made a real recessed wood coaming. He milled a long piece of wood incorporating the recess and the coaming shape. Then he cut them in 1 inch blocks and installed them to the deck all around the opening and faired them out. It was beautiful but an enormous amount of work. And even if your craftsmanship is immaculate, you will still see the joint lines all around the coaming - unless you stain it.
