Thanks Scott,

The boats look awesome! I can only imagine the sound.

The kayak I built is from Western Red Cedar (dark strips) and Atlantic White Pine (light strips). The pine will darken a bit when wetted out, so keep that in mind. You need a really light-colored pine. I would recommend holly if you can get your hands on it. That will stay white, and that's what they use in cabin soles on sailboats for the same effect. Another choice is yellow cedar, but it will (as the name suggests) come out a bit yellow in many cases, but the color varies quite a bit from tree to tree.

All the best,

Malcolm
