: to scarf. The Fir is more dense, has a tighter grain, straight as a arrow,

: I'm building a Yost Sea Rover for the GF

I'm working on my 2nd. Yost kayak, the first used red cedar and it works well and is very pretty. The one I'm working on now is with white pine, still works fine. Fir will work, just will add a couple pounds.
