: Looks very nice Rick. All of my woodstrip kayaks were basically

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the kudos. Now if I could get that foldable into some shape that I like I would feel better... But for now the Guillemot is a refreshing return to beauty.

Does redwood turn as dark as I think it must under expoy? Under boiled linseed oil it stays nice and cedar-like, though it tends to turn dark once it is used in salt water.
